  • Terms are used as documented in the texts of reports. Not all of the clinical features were reported in all cases, and therefore the percentages documented in this paper are based on cases where the feature could be definitely assessed as either being present or absent.

  • IUGR, intrauterine growth retardation; UPD14mat, maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 14.
