Myhre syndrome in a female with previously undescribed symptoms: Further delineation of the phenotype

Myhre syndrome is a rare connective tissue disease characterized by nonprogressive stiffness of the large joints, short stature with a peculiar build, and a distinctive facial phenotype. Developmental delay is common. Three female patients have so far been described. Here, we report on a 16‐year‐old female with Myhre syndrome. She has vertebral defects, hypertrophic scar formation, and a stiff skin in addition to the features that have previously been reported in association with Myhre syndrome. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
