Weill-Marchesani syndrome (WMS, OMIM# 227600) is a genetically determined, rare systemic connective tissue disorder. The syndrome is divided into four types according to mutations in related genes. Given the limited number of individuals with WMS in the literature, no genotype-phenotype correlations for ADAMTS10, ADAMTS17, FBN1, or LTBP2 have been identified. In the accessible literature, none of the limited studies were focused on the oral and dental anomalies of WMS. The present case report describes oral and dental findings of a 63 months old female patients with WMS2.
