Short stature, craniofacial dysmorphism and dento‐skeletal abnormalities in a large kindred

Abstract

A possibly new mental retardation syndrome is described in a large family. The major features of the syndrome are: short stature, craniofacial dysmorphism and dento-skeletal abnormalities. The mode of inheritance of this syndrome appears to be autosomal dominant with a variable degree of expressivity. The possible similarity to another autosomally dominant inherited mental retardation syndrome, the K.B.G. syndrome described by Hermann et al. is discussed.
