Epiphysial dysplasia: a constant finding in the XXXXY syndrome.

R Schmidt, M Pajewski, M Rosenblatt
PMCID: PMC1013698  PMID: 568664

Abstract

Two patients with the XXXXY syndrome are presented. Both boys are mentally retarded with short stature, muscular hypotonia, and hypogonadism. A constant feature of this syndrome is a varying degree of epiphysial dysplasia probably secondary to hypotonia and growth deceleration.
