The syndrome of hypoparathyroidism, severe growth failure, developmental delay and distinctive facies.
We report a child from a highly inbred Omani family with hypoparathyroidism, growth failure, developmental delay and a distinctive facial appearance. Thirty cases with this syndrome have been previously reported; 22 came from the Arab Gulf Countries and eight were Arabs living in Israel. These cases are reviewed.
