Abstract

Beare-Stevenson syndrome (BSS) (MIM#123790) is a rare disorder characterized by craniofacial anomalies and cutis gyrata associated with anogenital anomalies and prominent umbilical stump. There are few reports on the syndrome, and molecular analysis has revealed the involvement of two closely spaced mutations within the FGFR2 gene: c.1115C↷G (p.S372C) and c.1124C↷G (p.Y375C). We herein describe a new case of a c.1124C↷G mutation in a BSS patient.
