We describe a patient with microcephaly, developmental delay, and nephrotic syndrome who had normal renal function and normal brain imaging studies. She does not have the Galloway-Mowat syndrome. The concurrence of nephrotic syndrome with microcephaly and developmental delay may be coincidental, or

โฆ Synopsis
We describe two boys with global developmental delay and a phenotype of microcephaly, midface hypoplasia, enlarged fleshy ears, depressed nasal bridge, anteverted nostrils, central palatal ridge, and high forehead. Bilateral congenital fat pads are present anteromedial to the heels. Fetal finger and toe pads are present and palmar and plantar grooves are deeper than normal with ''pillowing'' of the areas between the grooves. No patients with similar clinical findings have been located, but these two children have a remarkably similar clinical presentation which we consider a ''new'' syndrome. Am.

We report on 2 brothers with short stature, microcephaly, myopia, retarded osseous maturation, severe developmental delay, and minor anomalies including temporal narrowing, periorbital fullness, full cheeks in infancy, and protruding lower lip. Both brothers and their parents had normal chromosomes.
An adult male with microphthalmia, severe developmental delay, conductive hearing loss, marked short stature of prenatal onset, and radiographic skeletal changes is described. A review of the literature, focusing on his major findings, suggests that his manifestations might be an extension of the ph
The study of the neurobehavioral consequences of mutations of FMR1, the gene responsible for fragile X syndrome (FraX), has been based largely on correlations between mutation patterns and cognitive profile. Following the characterization of FMRP, the FMR1 gene product, preliminary correlations betw
The tricho-dento-osseous (TDO) syndrome demonstrates kinky curly hair, thin-pitted enamel, taurodontism, and thickening of cortical bone. The purpose of this investigation was to characterize the phenotypic variation of TDO in 3, previously unreported, kindreds and to examine possible candidates for
