Summary
A Japanese male infant with the neonatal progeroid syndrome is described, bringing to six the number of patients reported with the syndrome. He had clinical features typical of the syndrome, and in addition, several abnormalities not described previously. The latter included blepharophimosis, downward slanting of the palpebral fissures, long eyelashes, narrow palate, generalized articular contractures, camptodactyly of the 2nd through 4th fingers, and the right second toe overriding the great toe.
