title: Giuffrè-Tsukahara syndrome: Evidence for X-linked dominant inheritance and review.
abstract: We report on a girl with Giuffrè-Tsukahara syndrome manifesting microcephaly, mental retardation, radio-ulnar synostosis, short stature and scoliosis. Skewed X-inactivation was not observed in our patient. We reviewed previous reports and provide evidence in support of X-linked dominant inheritance of this condition.
