title: Protein-losing gastroenteropathy with facial anomaly and growth retardation: a mild case of Hennekam syndrome.
abstract: A 7-year-old boy with a peculiar face, protein-losing gastroenteropathy and growth retardation is reported. Although he has a face similar to those 5 cases reported previously by Hennekam et al. (Am J Med Genet 34:593-600, 1989) and Gabrielli et al. (Am J Med Genet 40:244-247, 1991), he is not mentally retarded nor does he have severe lymphedema. This patient seems to have a mild case of the Hennekam syndrome.
