Oto-palato-digital syndrome type II. Report of two related cases
Abstract
Two cases with major features of bowed long bones, hypertelorism, mandibular hypoplasia and hand and foot abnormalities with early neonatal death due to respiratory failure are presented. The radiologic and clinical findings are in keeping with oto-palato-digital syndrome type II and differ significantly from other causes of bowed long bones such as campomelic and kyphomelic dysplasias.
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.
