Orofaciodigital syndrome, type I: a phenotypic and genetic analysis.
An additional family with the orofaciodigital syndrome. Type I, is presented. On the basis of previously published pedigrees, as well as the present case, data are presented that conclusively support an X-linked dominant mode of inheritance. Segregation analysis demonstrated that not only is there lethality in the male but there is significant lethality in the female due to lyonization. In addition, a review of the familial cases will demonstrate a large degree of intra- and interfamilial variation.
