AB Genetic  disorder  characterized  by  abnormal  bone  development.  Bowing  of  the  bones  in  the  arms  and  legs  is  characteristic.  Particular  facial  appearance  includes  hypertelorism,  full  cheeks,  small  facial  bones,  and  severe  micrognathia.  Other  clinical  features  include  a  relatively  small  chest  cavity  with  irregular  ribbon-like  ribs,  short  clavicle,  short  stature,  and  narrow  shoulders.  Pectus  excavatum  is  often  present.  Occasionally,  dislocation  of  the  hip  occurs.  May  present  hydronephrosis  caused  by  urinary  retention  caused  by  small  ureters.  There  is  some  suggestion  that  the  entity  is  a  form  of  the  fronto-otopalatodigital  osteodysplasia  syndrome.
