An apparently new syndrome of microcephalic primordial dwarfism and cataracts

Am J Med Genet. 1986 Sep;25(1):1-8. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.1320250102.

Abstract

We describe two sibs with prenatal-onset growth deficiency, microcephaly, cataracts, mental retardation, enamel hypoplasia, immune deficiency, and generalized delay of ossification. The combination appears to constitute a previously undescribed autosomal recessive syndrome.
