Multiple pterygium syndrome in five Arab sibs

K K Naguib et al. Ann Genet. 1987.

Abstract

This report describes an Arab family in which the parents are first cousins and with 5 siblings having multiple pterygium syndrome. The last pregnancy which produced an affected sib was prenatally diagnosed by ultrasonography. Intrafamilial variability of clinical features is discussed. The report stresses the importance of the differentiation between various genetic entities with multiple pterygium.
