The Myhre syndrome: report of two cases
Abstract
Two unrelated patients, aged 19 and 6 years, were studied and diagnosed as having Myhre syndrome (MS). This review, together with three previous cases, permits further delineation of MS. The main features are: short stature, mental retardation, blepharophimosis, muscular hypertrophy, decreased joint mobility, thick calvarium, broad ribs, hypoplastic iliac wings and short tubular bones. Advanced paternal age at the propositi's birth suggests an autosomal dominant mutation as the cause of MS.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
