Eight presented in the antenatal period (gestation 14\u201336 weeks) and one in the postnatal period at 6\u2009weeks. All nine displayed a narrow thorax and eight displayed shortened long bones (humerus and\/or femur). Polydactyly was less common and seen in only four individuals. Phenotypic severity was variable, including mild (n=4), moderate requiring respiratory support (n=2) and severe\/lethal (n=3) cases. Earlier antenatal presentation and more significant femur shortening and bowing were predictive of poor postnatal prognosis, and there were no clear genotype\u2013phenotype correlations.
