Oto-facio-osseous-gonadal syndrome: a new form of syndromic deafness?

In this study, we report on two brothers, born to consanguineous parents, with a syndrome of sensorineural deafness, short stature, cryptorchidism, inguinal hernia, brachycephaly, prominent forehead, flat face, downslanting palpebral fissures, low nasal root, hypoplastic alae and round tip to the nose, low-set prominent ears, narrow thorax, genu valgum, wormian bones, fusion of carpal bones, delayed bone age and congenital clubfeet. This combination of anomalies appears to be a previously undescribed syndrome, with probable autosomal recessive inheritance.
