Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) of the scalp and terminal transverse limb defects (TTLD) are the characteristic findings of Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS). The variable clinical spectrum further includes cardiac, neurologic, renal, and ophthalmological findings. Associated genes in AOS are in the Notch and the CDC42/Rac1 signaling pathways. Both autosomal-dominant and autosomal-recessive inheritances have been reported, the latter with pathogenic variants in DOCK6 or EOGT. The EOGTassociated recessive type of AOS has been postulated to present a more favorable prognosis. We here report a 12-year-old girl from a refugee family of Iraq with consanguineous parents. She was born with a severe phenotype of AOS presenting a
