title: Floating-Harbor syndrome in two sisters: autosomal recessive inheritance or germinal mosaicism?
abstract: We describe the clinical histories and physical findings most compatible with the diagnosis of Floating-Harbor syndrome in two sisters. The genetic basis of the Floating-Harbor syndrome is still unclear, and family data are in favour of autosomal recessive inheritance although germinal mosaicism for an autosomal dominant gene mutation cannot be fully excluded.
