We report on patient with Bartsocas-Papas syndrome surviving at age 20 months. Similar to 7 previously reported families, this patient is of Mediterranean ancestry, pointing to clustering of the responsible mutant gene in Southern Europe. In 3 of the 11 Bartsocas-Papas syndrome patients described so far, including the present case, the condition has not been neonatally lethal. This suggests that about one-fourth of these patients could survive. This information is important for genetic counseling.
