Key Clinical Message: Not only germline but also postzygotic mutations in the or genes can lead to capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation (CM-AVM) syndrome. As it is not always possible to clinically distinguish between constitutional variants and postzygotic mosaicism, a sufficiently high sequencing depth must be used in genetic diagnostics to detect both.
Abstract: Capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation (CM-AVM) syndrome, with or without Parkes Weber syndrome, is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by pathogenic or variants.
A patient with microbrachycephaly, high forehead, long philtrum, thin upper lip, downturned corners of the mouth, low set ears with overlapping helix, fifth-finger clinodactyly, small hands and feet, bilateral transverse palmar crease, low total finger ridge count, hypotonia, severe growth and psychomotor delay, mild hypoplasia of corpus callosum, and Arnold-Chiari type 1 malformation is reported. The karyotype showed 46, XY, del(1)(q23q31.2).

We present a family affected with distal arthrogryposis type IIB (DA IIB) in three generations. The coincidental finding of Dandy-Walker anomaly in the proposita arouses the question whether Dandy-Walker anomaly is part of the DA IIB spectrum or whether the Aase-Smith syndrome belongs to the DA spectrum.
