These features included severe aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) of the scalp involving both skin and cranium, a shortened right foot with talipes equinovarus, extensive cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita and also haemangiomas and ulceration of the abdominal skin.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
