title: An apparently new autosomal recessive syndrome with facial dysmorphism, macrocephaly, myopia and Dandy-Walker malformation.
abstract: In this report we describe an apparently new MCA-MR syndrome with Dandy-Walker malformation in three severely mentally retarded siblings born to normal, non-consanguineous parents. In addition, they presented macrocephaly, facial dysmorphism, extreme myopia and brachytelephalangy with short and broad finger-nails.
