    Abstract

    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 inheritance.
