A five year study of the malformations Registry of the Rhone-Alpes-Auvergne-Jura area shows that the association between renal agenesis and syndactyly (with or without the eye abnormalities) is quite rare. Such an association leads to the diagnosis of Fraser Syndrome even when cryptophtalmos is absent, and requires to look for minor ENT or ophthalmic symptoms by a careful post mortem examination.</p>","PeriodicalId":75984,"journal":{"name":"Journal de genetique humaine","volume":"37 4-5","pages":"373-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13778382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
