Capdepont dysplasia and vertical excess of the lower half of the face. Genetic syndrome or fortuitous association

: The study of an Algerian family revealed that four of the seven children presented dentinogenesis imperfecta associated with an anomaly of the facial skeleton (maxillary hypoplasia, anterior expansion of skeletal origin due to widening of the angle of the gonion). This type of association and its very unusual type of transmission (no doubt recessive) leads to a discussion of genetic mechanisms of these syndromes.
