Abstract
The GAPO syndrome is a rare but distinct autosomal‐recessive disorder. The term GAPO is an acronym for the manifestations of Growth retardation, Alopecia, Pseudo‐anodontia (failure of tooth eruption), and progressive Optic atrophy. We are aware of five other published patients. All have a strikingly similar appearance. This, along with other distinct manifestations, should allow clear differentiation from other causes of growth retardation. The hypothesis of autosomal‐recessive inheritance is based on parental consanguinity and affected sibs in several cases.
