title: Two brothers with severe developmental delay, growth retardation and unusual appearance.
abstract: We report on two brothers with short stature, severe developmental delay and unusual appearance. Several conditions including the Russell-Silver, Dubowitz, Floating-Harbour and Cockayne syndromes were considered in the differential diagnosis, but subsequently rejected. These two cases are likely to represent a new autosomal recessive or X-linked recessive syndrome.
