Clin Dysmorphol. 1998 Jul;7(3):163-70. doi: 10.1097/00019605-199807000-00002.

Abstract

Multiple congenital anomalies (MCA) in two siblings and digit abnormalities in four related individuals from a large highly inbred Muslim family are described. The pattern of MCA is consistent with the autosomal recessive Kaufman-McKusick syndrome [MIM 236700]. The present report reviews the previously published reports on this uncommon MCA dysmorphic syndrome and draws attention to the marked variation in the phenotype.
