Protein‐losing gastroenteropathy with facial anomaly and growth retardation: A mild case of Hennekam syndrome

Abstract
A 7‐year‐old boy with a peculiar face, protein‐losing gastroenteropathy and growth retardation is reported. Although he has a face similar to those 5 cases reported previously by Hennekam et al. (Am J Med Genet 34:593–600, 1989) and Gabrielli et al. (Am J Med Genet 40:244–247, 1991), he is not mentally retarded nor does he have severe lymphedema. This patient seems to have a mild case of the Hennekam syndrome.
