Abstract
We report the prenatal diagnosis of a male fetus with X‐linked recessive chondrodysplasia punctata (CDPX), steroid sulphatase (STS) deficiency, X‐linked Kallmann syndrome (KAL), and a chromosome deletion at Xp22.31. Biochemical analysis of bone from this case indicates that CDPX is not a defect of vitamin K metabolism. Immunocytochemical study of the brain suggests that KAL is a defect in neuronal migration.
