Abstract
We report on a new case of a syndrome first described by Cantu et al, [1982 : Hum Genet 60:36-41] comprising congenital hypertrichosis, "coarse" facial appearance, and mild osteochondrodysplasia. Our case has some unusual radi ological findings, namely proximal and distal megaepiphyses of long bones a nd advanced bone age. Am. J. Med. Genet. 92:191-194, 2000. (C) 2000 Wiley-L iss, Inc.
