A new X linked syndrome with mental retardation and craniofacial dysmorphism?
We present a syndrome manifested in two half brothers and their two maternal aunts which is characterised in the two boys by severe mental retardation and craniofacial dysmorphism (broad, coarse features and marked plagiocephaly with flattened occiput), and in the aunts merely by moderate mental retardation without dysmorphic features. The brothers do not seem to fall into any previously descri...
متن کاملA new X linked recessive syndrome of mental retardation and mild dysmorphism maps to Xq28.
Efforts to understand the genetic basis of mental retardation are greatly assisted by the identification of families with multiple relatives with mental retardation that clinical geneticists encounter in the routine practice of their profession. Here we describe a linkage study of a four generation family in which X linked recessive mental retardation (XLMR) is associated with minor dysmorphism...
متن کاملHomozygous frameshift mutation in TMCO1 causes a syndrome with craniofacial dysmorphism, skeletal anomalies, and mental retardation.
We identified an autosomal recessive condition in 11 individuals in the Old Order Amish of northeastern Ohio. The syndrome was characterized by distinctive craniofacial dysmorphism, skeletal anomalies, and mental retardation. The typical craniofacial dysmorphism included brachycephaly, highly arched bushy eyebrows, synophrys, long eyelashes, low-set ears, microdontism of primary teeth, and gene...
متن کاملMental retardation, distinct craniofacial dysmorphism, and central nervous system malformation: confirmation of a syndrome.
We present a child with severe mental retardation, a central nervous system malformation, signs of ectodermal dysplasia, and a distinct craniofacial dysmorphism. Similar but less pronounced craniofacial features were present in the mildly mentally retarded mother. This observation confirms a previous report of a boy with the same MCA-MR syndrome and suggests X linked or autosomal dominant inher...
متن کاملX linked mental retardation: a family with a separate syndrome?
Four males with X linked mental retardation are described. Manifestations similar to those seen in the FG syndrome include severe constipation, tall, broad foreheads, hypotonia, and cowlicks of the hair line, but no individual patient had all the features of the syndrome and none had macrocephaly. The facial appearance was distinctive but different from that seen in the FG syndrome. The cases a...
