title: Syndrome of microcephaly, Brachmann-de Lange-like facial changes, severe metatarsus adductus, and developmental delay: mild Brachmann-de Lange syndrome?
abstract: We report on 4 individuals (3 sibs and their father) with a syndrome of growth retardation, microcephaly, minor facial anomalies reminiscent of a mild Brachmann-de Lange syndrome (BDLS), severe metatarsus adductus, developmental delay, and unusual dermatoglyphics. The syndrome, which seems to be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with variable expressivity, resembles mild BDLS.
