Gerodermia osteodysplastica in a Bedouin sibship

Abstract

We report a Bedouin family with gerodermia osteodysplasiea in which there are two affected female siblings. They have a prematurely aged face with loose and wrinkled skin, joint laxity/dislocation, and osteoporosis. Unusual traits that nave not been previously reported in association with gerodermia osteodysplastica were ear anomalies and an abnormal EEG.
