Adams-Oliver syndrome: Additions to the clinical features and possible role of BMP pathway.

We report on a patient with Adams-Oliver syndrome, a condition characterized by scalp and limb defects. In addition we noted in our patient a significant delay in the bone age and an abnormal distal phalanx in one of her fingers manifesting clinically as a broad finger tip. Both these features hitherto unreported add to the phenotypic spectrum of the condition.
