Unusual Presentation of McKusick-Kaufman Syndrome in a Female Bedouin Arab Baby

Abstract

McKusick-Kaufman syndrome is a rare, autosomal, recessive disorder characterized by hydrometrocolpos, post-axial polydactyly, and congenital heart disease. Less than one hundred cases have been reported in the English literature to date, mainly in the Amish population; sporadic cases have also been described. We present a case of an Arab Bedouin girl who presented with features resembling this syndrome.
