title: Mental retardation, short stature, almond-shaped eyes, small downturned mouth and coned epiphyses: a new case of Hunter-Fraser syndrome.
abstract: A 21-year-old male with mental retardation, short stature, almond-shaped eyes, small downturned mouth, and coned epiphyses is presented. The clinical presentation, as well as the metacarpal phalangeal pattern profile, was similar to the affected members of a family reported by Hunter et al.: (Hunter et al.: J Med Genet 14:430-437, 1977). In addition, many features of our patient resembled Ruvalcaba syndrome. However, skeletal abnormalities were different. A reciprocal translocation was also observed in 3 members of our patient's family.
