[Dubowitz syndrome and atopic eczema. Case report of monozygotic twins]

Abstract

Autosomal recessive inheritance, intrauterine growth retardation, short stature, microcephaly, distinct facial dysmorphism, psychomotoric retardation, and often uncharacterized eczematous skin lesions distinguish the rare Dubowitz syndrome. Here a pair of monozygotic twins with Dubowitz syndrome and clear-cut atopic eczema is presented.
