Adams-Oliver Syndrome: Vestigial Tail and Genetics Update.

Adams-Oliver syndrome is a well-recognized autosomal dominant disorder for which mutations in six genes are etiologic, but account for only one-third of the cases. We report a patient with two genetic disorders; Adams-Oliver and Xp22.33 deletion syndromes, as well as a vestigial pseudotail. The presence of a pseudotail has not previously been reported in either of these genetic conditions. Absence of a molecular etiology underlying Adams-Oliver syndrome confirms that there are additional genetic causes to be identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
