Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome with dysgenesis of the corpus callosum in a Bedouin family.
We report on the first known Bedouin family with Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome (MIM 175700). The index patient and his father shared pre- and postaxial polysyndactyly, mild mental retardation, and corpus callosum dysgenesis. Their phenotypic findings were compared with reported cases of both Greig cephalopolysyndactyly (GCPS) and acrocallosal syndromes. This family represents the second report of the rare occurrence of dysgenesis of the corpus callosum in GCPS.
