Abstract:
A 6-year-old boy with the Floating-Harbor syndrome (F-HS) is described. We propose that his exceptionally high-pitched voice and supernumerary upper incisor are additional diagnostic signs of F-HS. The elevated gliadin antibody levels suggest coeliac disease, which has been described in three out of the 15 previously reported F-HS patients. His facial features and delayed speech development are very characteristic but his shortness (-3 SD) is milder than usual. The patient is a sporadic case like all the F-HS cases so far.
