Floating-Harbor syndrome and celiac disease.
We report on a 17-year-old young woman with a speech impediment, developmental delay, short stature, and facial anomalies consistent with the Floating-Harbor syndrome (FHS). In addition, she has clinical and histological evidence of celiac disease, which was observed in 1 of the 6 previously reported cases of FHS, suggesting a possible association between the 2 conditions or pleiotropism of a presumed autosomal recessive disorder.
