title: Iris coloboma, ptosis, hypertelorism, and mental retardation: a new syndrome possibly localised on chromosome 2.
abstract: A patient with a phenotype resembling that of three children recently reported is described. His karyotype shows a pericentric inversion of chromosome 2, very similar to another child previously reported. We discuss the possibility that all these cases constitute a distinct syndrome.
