We report a four-generation pedigree with six affected females with cranial hyperostosis and various skeletal abnormalities.

We identified a novel in-frame deletion in exon 29 of the Filamin A gene (c.4904_4912del, p.R1635_V1637del) encoding rod domain repeat 14 of the protein. The disorder resulted in...
