title: Familial recurrence of geleophysic dysplasia.
abstract: We describe a girl with the manifestations of geleophysic dwarfism: small stature, a peculiar but pleasant and good-natured facial appearance, a dysostosis-multiplex-like bone dysplasia affecting predominantly hands and feet, hepatomegaly and stenosis, and insufficiency of the aortic valve. The proposita's sister died of heart failure at 3 years and was reported by the mother to have been a tiny child with small hands.
