Core Tip
Core Tip: Roberts syndrome is a rare but severe autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ESCO2 gene, characterized by limb malformations, growth restriction, and multisystem involvement. This case highlights the urgent need for early detection through integrated prenatal imaging and genetic testing, especially in consanguineous families, to enable timely diagnosis, guide clinical management, and support informed reproductive decision-making.
