Reevaluation of a kindred with congenital absence of dermal ridges, syndactyly, and facial milia.

Abstract

We observed a newborn infant of a previously reported kindred with absent dermal ridge pattern, syndactyly, and facial milia. The infant's features were consistent with three other kindreds, suggesting that this entity is a single disorder with variable expression. Furthermore, this entity should be considered in the differential diagnosis of excessive congenital facial milia and erosions.
