title: New XLMR syndrome with characteristic face, hypogenitalism, congenital hypotonia and pachygyria.
abstract: A previously unreported X-linked MCA/MR syndrome is described in 4 members of a large family. Phenotypic manifestations include mental retardation, microcephaly, failure to thrive, severe congenital hypotonia, characteristic face, hypogenitalism, pachygyria. This appears to be an X-linked dominant trait with decreased penetrance and expressivity in carrier females.
