| This syndrome is characterized by the combination of microcephaly, cleft palate, and variable anomalies such as unusual facial appearance, hypotelorism, abnormal retinal pigmentation, maxillary hypoplasia, goiter, camptodactyly, mild intellectual deficit, and abnormal dermatoglyphics. It has been described only once; in two sisters and their mother. Although microcephaly and intellectual deficit are frequently associated with cleft palate, the other features of these patients are in favour of this syndrome being an entity per se. The mode of inheritance is autosomal or X-linked dominant. |
