Dominantly inherited syndrome of microcephaly and cleft palate

Abstract: Two sisters and their mother had a syndrome of microcephaly, cleft palate, and variable anomalies such as unusual facial appearance, hypotelorism, abnormal retinal pigmentation, maxillary hypoplasia, goiter, camptodactyly, mild mental retardation, and abnormal dermatoglyphics. This is an evidently dominantly inherited trait, either autosomal or X-linked.

“…The inheritance pattern in our family is consistent with an autosomal dominant gene, as initially reported by Haslam and Smith (1979). This type of microcephaly has been associated with other abnormalities such as cleft palate, lymphedema, chorio-retinal dysplasia, short stature, and hypoplasia and aplasia of the phalanges and clinodactyly (Halal, 1983;Leung, 1985;Alzial et al, 1988;Burton, 1981; S l y et LII., 1975). Autosomal dominant microcephaly, in contrast to its recessive counterpart, has been reported to be associated with a less severe degree of mental retard.ation (Rossi and Battilana, 1982;Rossi et al, 1987).…”
