title: Acrofacial dysostosis of unknown type: nosology of the acrofacial dysostoses.
abstract: We describe a stillborn girl with an unclassified form of mandibulofacial dysostosis, a postaxial defect of the right, and a preaxial defect of the left hand. The Nager syndrome is characterized by preaxial limb defects, whereas the Genée-Wiedemann syndrome (= Miller syndrome) by postaxial limb defects. We briefly review the established acrofacial dysostoses (AFD) and discuss the position of our case in the current classification.
