title: Mandibulo-acral dysplasia: heterogeneity versus variability.
abstract: Several patients with mandibulo-acral dysplasia have been described, although it is becoming clear that the phenotype is quite variable, both with regards to clinical findings and age of onset. This is a review of the literature on mandibulo-acral dysplasia, as well as a discussion on variability versus heterogeneity in this entity.
