title: Short stature, Robin sequence, cleft mandible, pre/postaxial hand anomalies, and clubfoot: a new autosomal recessive syndrome.
abstract: We report on 5 unrelated Brazilian children with short stature, Robin sequence, cleft mandible, pre/postaxial hand anomalies, and clubfoot. Genetic aspects and phenotypic manifestations are compared with those of previous reports of acrofacial dysostoses and with other Robin sequence syndromes. We suspect that these patients present a previously undescribed autosomal recessive syndrome.
