Abstract
We describe a first cousin marriage between Asians which resulted in 13 pregnancies; 4 of the offspring were normal, 5 were stillborn dwarves, 3 pregnancies resulted in miscarriage, and one was terminated for dwarfism detected prenatally. The radiology and histology are unique and the predigree suggests autosomal recessive inheritance.Keywords
