title: Setleis (bitemporal 'forceps marks') syndrome in a German family: evidence for autosomal dominant inheritance.
abstract: The Setleis syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by predominantly facial findings, including bitemporal skin changes resembling forceps marks. Autosomal recessive inheritance of this distinct condition has been proposed. We report on a typically affected German boy whose father shows a much milder expression, thus suggesting autosomal dominant inheritance.
