[Chondroectodermal displasia (Ellis-van Creveld syndrome)]. / Displasia condroectodérmica (síndrome de Ellis-van Creveld).

The present paper describes a case with clinical and radiological characteristics of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome. He was the first offspring from non-consanguineous parents. We comment the differential diagnosis between chondroectodermal dysplasia with types of dwarfism for genetic conseling purposes.

[Familial Pierre Robin's anomaly]. / Anomalía familiar de Pierre Robin.

The present paper describes a family with daughter and son affected with clinical characteristics of Pierre Robin's anomaly. The pedigree suggests an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. The authors mention that in order to have more genetic evidence on this trait, an extensive study of families, with at least one proband should be made for a correct genetic analysis.
