Craniofacial anthropometry in Roberts syndrome in a sample of Egyptians

Abstract EN

Roberts syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in ESCO2 gene.

among over 150 reported international cases, 16 cases are Egyptian including the presently reported patients.

we report five new patients with Roberts syndrome from five unrelated consanguineous Egyptian families.

the mean and standard deviation of the absolute anthropometric measurements and derived indices are presented.

the comparative mean, standard deviation and P values for syndrome versus the normal Egyptian control group are shown.

both sexes were collectively presented as there were no differences between sexes.
