探访秦岭光头山羚牛世界

光头山在秦岭山中是一座极普通的山脉.其峰顶也才2903米.这与秦岭主峰3767米的太白山逊色多了,简直就是小子辈了。但由于她地处秦岭南坡苍茫的深山之中,交通闭塞.周围又有多个自然保护区相簇拥,因而她躲过了现代人一次次刀斧的蹂躏.迄今还保持着她那应有原始与清纯,虽然我一次次走近她.解读她.她依然令我无尽的痴迷和向往。

Exencephaly in autosomal dominant brachydactyly syndrome

Exencephaly was diagnosed at 17 weeks in a 27-year-old primigravida with abnormalities of the hands and a family history suggestive of autosomal dominant brachydactyly and clinodactyly. In this family there was also a history of ‘anencephaly’. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the association of exencephaly and autosomal dominant brachydactyly. As the relationship between hand and cranial anomalies is well established, we suggest that this association in our case could be due to a defect in the same gene.
