المستخلص

 Roberts  syndrome  is  a  rare  autosomal  recessive  genetic  disorder  caused  by mutations in ESCO2 gene. Among over 150 reported international cases, 16 cases are Egyptian including the presently reported patients. We report five new patients with Roberts syndrome from five unrelated consanguineous Egyptian families. The mean and  standard  deviation  of  the  absolute  anthropometric  measurements  and  derived indices  are  presented.  The  comparative  mean,  standard  deviation  and  P  values  for syndrome  versus  the  normal  Egyptian  control  group  are  shown.  Both  sexes  were collectively presented as there were no differences between sexes.
