title: The fragile-X phenotype. Computer assisted analysis of the dysmorphological features and discrimination from the Sotos phenotype.
abstract: Fragile-X and Sotos phenotypes may be difficult to distinguish. This is illustrated with a case report. Computer assisted phenotype analyses (MDDB), using the complete trait list of this patient, suggested the fragile-X diagnosis, which later was confirmed by molecular techniques. The results of corresponding phenotype analyses are summarized for 17 children with proven fragile-X, and 10 children with suggested Sotos syndrome.
