Here we report a Turkish child with Ellis-van Creveld syndrome whose presentation was short strature, hypodontia, narrow thorax, dysplastic nails, cardiac abnormality and polydactyly. Genetic analysis revealed novel homozygous mutation in the EVC2 gene (c.3533_3546del). Further research is needed to elucidate the pathophysiological course

Skeletal dysplasias are a heterogenous group of disorders combining abnormalities in the skull and other skeletal bones. Weyers acrofacial dysostosis also known as Weyers acrodental dysostosis was first described in 1952, by Weyers, as a postaxial polydactyly, which had features distinct from, yet some in common with the Ellis-van Creveld Syndrome (EvC). Both the syndromes have been mapped to the same chromosome, 4p16. The cases reported here highlight the overlapping features of both syndromes, which are dissimilar in mode of inheritance and phenotypic severity, emphasizing the need for genetic analysis, to categorize these conditions.
