✦ Synopsis

We describe a family segregating an autosomal dominant mutation producing a syndrome comprising microcephaly with normal intelligence and short palpebral fissures together with variable signs including thumb hypoplasia, shortness of the middle phalanges of the second and fifth fingers, small feet, a gap between the first and second toes, and mild syndactyly of the toes or fingers. A characteristic radiologic finding in our family is thinning of the proximal end of the first metacarpal and shortening of that metacarpal. The severity of these findings was asymmetric in our patients. This syndrome is similar to patients described by

We describe two female fetuses conceived by a nonconsanguineous couple. The pregnancies were interrupted at 31 and 26 weeks of gestation, respectively, because of severe microcephaly. Postmortem X-ray and autopsy studies showed in both fetuses: 1) severe intrauterine growth retardation; 2) facial an
