We present data on 4 mentally retarded brothers, 2 of whom were dizygotic twins withcongenital hypotonia, constipation, head size disproportionately large for length or height, and a combination of minor anomalies suggestive of FG syndrome. These brothers have a mentally retarded full sister with si
