New syndrome of mental retardation, Robin sequence, and brachydactyly


Gurrieri, F; Steindl, K; Giglio, S; Neri, G (2001). New syndrome of mental retardation, Robin sequence, and brachydactyly. American Journal of Medical Genetics. Part A, 100(1):49-51.

Abstract

We report on two sibs, brother and sister, affected with a multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation (MCA/MR) syndrome, characterized by mild to moderate psychomotor delay, Robin sequence, peculiar facial appearance, and brachydactyly. To our knowledge, this combination of anomalies has not been reported previously. The occurrence of a similar pattern of anomalies in brother and sister suggests autosomal recessive inheritance; however, dominant transmission with reduced penetrance cannot be ruled out in our patients, since minor clinical signs, such as brachydactyly, are also present in the father.
