abstract：:A third case of an interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 6 with clinical features mimicking Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is presented. Although preliminary clinical evaluation in each case suggested PWS, further review revealed that the features in all three cases are not completely compatible with the ch...

abstract：:Acrodysostosis is characterized by a peripheral dysostosis that is accompanied by short stature, midface hypoplasia, and developmental delay. Recently, it was shown that heterozygous point mutations in the PRKAR1A gene cause acrodysostosis with hormone resistance. By mutational analysis of the PRKAR1A gene we detected...
