A family with features of the mucocutaneous ocular syndrome is described. A 4-generation study reveals that the condition has been inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with variable expressivity. Psychiatric symptoms and myalgia have been prominent features peculiar to our patients.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
