Preferred Label : Lichtenstein syndrome;
Type : Other, mainly phenotypes with suspected mendelian basis;
Description : In both of female monozygotic twins, Lichtenstein (1972) described a 'new' syndrome
comprising frequent infections due to a leukocyte and immune defect (neutropenia,
IgA deficiency), bony abnormalities (peripheral osteoporosis) with tendency to fracture,
failure of fusion of posterior spinal arches, subluxation at C1-C2 resulting in long-tract
signs, metacarpophalangeal camptodactyly with ulnar deviation of the fingers and Simian
crease, giant cyst of the lung, and unusual facies ('carp mouth,' synophrys, anteverted
nostrils). *FIELD* RF 1. Lichtenstein, J. R.: A 'new' syndrome with neutropenia, immunoglobulin
