A mentally retarded female with distinct facial dysmorphism, joint laxity, clinodactyly and abnormal dermatoglyphics.

We describe a retarded female patient with distinct facial dysmorphism (round puffy cheeks, epicanthal folds, ocular hypertelorism, short broad nose, low set and slanted ears), joint laxity, clinodactyly, abnormal dermatoglyphics (bilateral absence of c palmar triradius and single palmar crease) and a peculiar metacarpophalangeal profile. The possibility of a new MCA/MR is discussed.
