We report on newborn affected by Cutis Marmorata Telangiectatica Congenita (CMTC) and a short and thinner left lower limb. This finding seems to involve a large number of CMTC patients. Other syndromes, at least Adams-Oliver and Poland-anomalad, show similar characteristics: this suggests a single "vascular disruption sequence", possibly due to a gene with AD inheritance, which causes a reduction in blood flow during the embryonic or fetal periods, determining different phenotypes.

Abstract
We report on newborn affected by Cutis Marmorata Telangiectatica Congenita (CMTC) and a short and thinner left lower limb. This finding seems to involve a large number of CMTC patients. Other syndromes, at least Adams-Oliver and Poland-anomalad, show similar characteristics: this suggests a single "vascular disruption sequence", possibly due to a gene with AD inheritance, which causes a reduction in blood flow during the embryonic or fetal periods, determining different phenotypes.File in questo prodotto:
