A brother and sister born to a Saudi couple showed aging appearance, wrinkled skin over the hands and feet, inelastic skin, prominent veins over the hands, and other musculoskeletal and connective tissue manifestations. Both children were small for their age and had congenital dislocation of the hips. The paper describes the main manifestations and compares them with the previously described two families.
