Tetra-amelia and splenogonadal fusion in Roberts syndrome

Am J Med Genet. 1997 Jan 20;68(2):185-9. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1096-8628(19970120)68:2<185::aid-ajmg13>3.0.co;2-q.

Abstract

Roberts-SC phocomelia syndrome comprises limb deficiencies of variable severity, facial clefts, and other anomalies. Tetra-amelia may also be associated with facial clefts and similar anomalies. We report on a female infant with severe tetra-amelia, micrognathia, cleft palate, splenogonadal fusion, and premature centromere separation. We propose that this represents the severe expression of the Roberts-SC phocomelia syndrome.
