Description : Quadrelli et al. (2000) reported a family from Uruguay in which 6 males in 4 sibships
in 3 generations, connected through females, had a syndrome of brachyturricephaly,
'pugilistic' facial appearance, a muffled voice, cardiomyopathy, muscular hypertrophy,
broad hands, wide feet with progressive pes cavus deformities, dislocation of toes,
variable congenital hip dislocation, and scoliosis. Three of the males were studied;
3 others had died from cardiac disease, consisting of ventricular hypertrophy. The
mother of the propositus had milder signs of the syndrome, including an elongated
face with prominent maxilla, everted lips, and a muffled voice. Her muscular development
was prominent with little subcutaneous fat. *FIELD* RF 1. Quadrelli, R.; Vaglio, A.;
