title: Blepharocheilodontic syndrome or lagophthalmos: a child with overlapping features.
abstract: The Blepharocheilodontic (BCD) syndrome (MIM119580) and lagophthalmos syndrome (MIM600990), have striking overlap in their clinical presentation. We describe a child with manifestations of both syndromes, supporting the proposal that the two entities represent a continuum of a wider syndrome.
