Great news, I’m off to the world tour with Frank Cammas and his crew on Groupama 3 as browser. The departure is imminent, the first weather window.

For those who want to follow us you can visit the website: www.cammas-groupama.com

I am very pleased to participate in this adventure more than I have been the browser that I love above all.

The record to beat is 50 days and we’ll be 10 on board to meet this challenge. I think of you.

Syndrome Facio-cardio-skin is characterized by cardiac abnormalities (abnormal heart valves, ventricular septal and inter atrial cardiomyopathy and cardiac arrhythmias), characteristic facial abnormalities and skin (hyperkeratosis, ichthyosis, eczema, xerosis). The hair is typically sparse, curly, thin, brittle. The eyebrows are absent. The nails are dystrophic or having an overgrowth. Mental retardation of varying intensity was present in all affected individuals. Unlike Costello syndrome and Noonan syndrome are the two main differential diagnoses, these individuals have no particular risk to have malignant tumors.

Described for the first time in 1971, Costello syndrome, or syndrome Facio-cutaneous-skeletal, is a rare disease that reveals itself in the first months of life and is characterized by postnatal growth retardation, thick lines, a retardation and skin abnormalities and heart.
