Acrocallosal syndrome [ACS]

Acrocallosal syndrome [ACS] is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder with hypoplasia / agenesis of corpus callosum, moderate to severe mental retardation, characteristic craniofacial abnormalities, distinctive digital malformations and growth retardation. In this paper we present a three month old girl with typical features of this syndrome.

Femoral hypoplasia-unusual facies syndrome: femoral facial syndrome [FFS]: a recessive severe skeletal form

Autosomal dominant inheritance was described in few cases. We report a four-year old male with complete absence of both femora, not associated with other congenital anomalies except bilateral undescended testes
