Abstract

|
|
We report a 10-year-old male proband, born from consanguineous marriage, presenting with short stature, severe aortic root dilation, skin hyperextensibility, extreme joint laxity and craniofacial dysmorphism. Clinical, biochemical and molecular findings did not match any of the well-described connective tissue syndromes in the differential diagnosis for this specific combination of features. We presume that the phenotype presented in this patient may constitute a newly recognized syndrome of likely autosomal recessive inheritance.
