case_images: (A) + (B) High eyebrow arch, wide eye distance, small eye fissure, double eyelid ptosis, flat nose bridge and slightly upturned nostrils; the middle sulcus was wide and long, and the ear was low and backward. (C) + (D) Hands/soles were small; fingers/toes were short and thick; little fingers on both hands were short and curved with a single finger fold. (E) Bilateral oblique inguinal hernia and shapeless scrotum complicated with cryptorchidism (after surgery). (F) Sacral tail skin depression. (G) Sternum depression, costal margin eversion and a flat navel.

case_images: Gene sequencing of family members with Aarskog-Scott syndrome, with the variation shown by arrows. (A). Case 1, FGD1 gene with (C).2015 + 1G>A semi-heterozygous variation. (B). Case 2, FGD1 gene with (C).2015 + 1G>A semi-heterozygous variation. (C). The children's cousin FGD1 gene with (C).2015 + 1G>A semi-heterozygous variation. (D). FGD1 gene with (C).2015 + 1G>A heterozygous variation. (E) FGD1 gene with (C).2015 + 1G>A heterozygous variation. (F). FGD1 gene with (C).2015 + 1G>A heterozygous variation. (G) FGD1 gene with (C).2015 + 1G>A heterozygous variation. (H). FGD1 gene with (C).2015 + 1G>A heterozygous variation.

case_images: Aarskog-Scott syndrome family diagram; IV-4,IV-6, and IV-7 had FGD1 gene C.2015 + 1G>A semi-heterozygous variation, including IV-6 and IV-7 who were our patients. C.2015 + 1G>A heterozygous variation of the FGD1 gene for III-2, III-4, III-6, and III-8; I-2 andI-2 had died, and were speculated to have harbored FGD1 gene variation.
