Broad Thumbs and Toes and Facial Abnormalities: A Possible Mental Retardation Syndrome

RUBINSTEIN, JACK H.·1963·American Journal of Diseases of Children

Abstract

Although a large number of diseases, conditions, and syndromes associated with mental retardation have been described, it has been the discouraging experience of physicians dealing with retarded children that relatively few cases may be specifically classified or diagnosed despite intensive evaluations. Many of the children manifest facial peculiarities along with other physical findings and often resemble neither their parents nor their siblings. The clinician frequently has the feeling that the child should fit into some syndrome; however, each case usually presents an isolated and unique group of findings not resembling the picture seen in other retarded children who are evaluated. It was a rather unusual and exciting experience to find two unrelated children who seemed to resemble each other closely enough to make one wonder if they might not have the same syndrome. After studying these two patients with their array of similar clinical findings, their reports and photographs were

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
