Abstract We describe the case of a male patient with orofaciodigital (OFD) syndrome type XVI with a homozygous variant of TMEM107 (p.Phe106del) and the additional findings of tibial dysplasia, which is a pivotal finding of OFD syndrome type IV. His family history included two fetuses with anencephaly with or without cleft lip/palate and polydactyly with no genetic information. Careful attention should be given to the interpretation of this rare pattern.
