Prenatal diagnosis of Jeune syndrome

Am J Med Genet. 1985 Jul;21(3):433-8. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.1320210304.

Abstract

We describe two sibs affected with Jeune syndrome. The first was diagnosed after birth and the second was diagnosed prenatally using ultrasonography. The detected abnormalities were confirmed by X-ray and autopsy following pregnancy termination. This observation indicates the possibility of prenatal diagnosis of the condition.
