title: Alveolar synechia, ankyloblepharon, and ectodermal disorders: an autosomal recessive disorder?
abstract: A male patient with alveolar synechia and ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum is reported. He also had bilateral commissural lip pits, inferiorly attached frenulum, generalized hypoplastic nails, and wooly scalp hair. He was a product of consanguineous parents. The disease seemed to be an autosomal recessive syndrome with heterozygote expression.
