Bloom syndrome is a rare hereditary disease that is associated with an increased risk of cancer. The most striking feature is a growth retardation that begins in the womb and can persist through infancy and childhood into adulthood. A conspicuous reddening of the skin in areas exposed to sunlight, especially on the face, is also typical.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
