Samenvatting

Focal facial dermal dysplasia (FFDD) type IV is a rare inherited facial defect caused by biallelic variants in CYP26C1. This study reports two novel Belgian FFDD type IV cases, both homozygous for a recurrent CYP26C1 frameshift variant, with a common 700 kb haplotype, indicating a founder effect.
