Abstract

We report three further patients with similar clinical signs to those described by Desbuquois et al. (Desbuquois G, Grenier B, Michel J, Rossignol C (1966): Arch Fr Pediatr 23; 573-587) Two of the patients were born to consanguineous parents, confirming autosomal recessive inheritance of this condition. The patients presented with micromelic short stature, flat midface, irregular ossification of the vertebral bodies and an advanced bone age.
