Abstract excerpt
Oculodentodigital dysplasia (ODDD) and Hallermann-Streiff syndrome (HSS) share several clinical characteristics. However, while ODDD is a dominantly inherited disorder due to mutations in the connexin 43 gene GJA1, the inheritance pattern of the HSS syndrome is still debated. Overlapping phenotypes have been described. In one of such cases we found a homozygous change at the very conserved R76 codon (c.227G>A,...
