Answer to PhotoQuiz 65
Femoral Hypoplasia – Unusual Facies Syndrome (OMIM %134780)
'Femoral Hypoplasia – Unusual Facies Syndrome' also known as 'Femoral – Facial Syndrome' is a rare disorder associated with bilateral femoral hypoplasia and dysmorphic facial features including upslanting palpebral fissures, a short nose with a broad tip, long philtrum, thin upper lip, micrognathia, and cleft palate. Renal anomalies and intracranial anomalies have also been reported in some affected individuals. The femoral involvement can be asymmetric. Majority of cases occur sporadically and do not have an identifiable etiology, but a similar phenotype can occur due to the teratogenic effects of maternal diabetes.
