Abstract

Yunis-Varon syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition initially characterized by specific skeletal and ectodermal abnormalities, and a poor prognosis, due to neurological and cardiovascular involvement. We describe the cardiovascular and endocrine complications in a 26-year-old man who had been reported previously, adding dilated cardiomyopathy to the clinical features consistent with Yunis-Varon syndrome. Short stature, successfully treated with growth hormone, and hypertension secondary to bilateral renal artery stenosis expand the phenotype.
