| pubmed-article:18470519 | pubmed:abstractText | Restrictive dermopathy (RD) belongs to the laminopathies and mostly shows an autosomal recessive heredity pattern. This rare genetic disorder is lethal for the newborn in the neonatal period. Clinical and pathological findings are distinctive and allow for a specific diagnosis in most cases. Furthermore, polyhydramnios, decreased foetal movement, facial dysmorphisms and arthrogryposis are characteristic of RD. Respiratory insufficiency leads to an early neonatal death. | lld:pubmed |
