Advancing clinical dysmorphology diagnostic skills: Weaver syndrome

Abstract

There are now too many of rare clinical syndromes and dysmorphic syndromes including genetic syndromes, and it is difficult for most physicians to equip themselves with adequate professional knowledge that help them to make an early useful diagnosis for many of the syndromes they may encounter. We have previously described our pioneering extensive experiences with clinical genetics and dysmorphology in a plethora of publications. We have previously reported a large number of rare conditions in Iraq, and we have also helped physicians in the diagnosis and publication of rare syndromes observed in other countries. The aim of this papers is to help clinicians in advancing the diagnostic skills in the field of clinical syndromes by reviewing briefly a rare syndrome that have not been reported in Iraq, but it is associated with certain clinical characteristics that allow clinicians who see the syndrome for the first time, capable of making an easy diagnosis by knowing few information about the condition.
