Infant Body Composition in an Asian Pacific Islander Population.

Background: Normative infant body composition data using air displacement plethysmography (ADP) are from primarily Caucasian populations. Racial differences may exist.

Objectives: To describe body composition in Asian and Pacific Islander infants and compare them to previously published data on Caucasian infants.

The perinatal presentation of cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome.

There is limited information available related to the perinatal course of cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFC) compared to other syndromes within the Ras-MAP kinase pathway (rasopathies) such as Noonan and Costello syndrome. Retrospective chart review revealed four cases of CFC with molecular confirmation between 2005 and 2012 at Hawaii's largest obstetric and pediatric referral center. We report on details of the prenatal, neonatal, and infancy course and long-term follow-up beyond infancy in two patients.
