title: [A family with the EEC syndrome (ectrodactily, ectodermal dysplasia clefting syndrome): clinical variability and genetic counseling].
abstract: In a family with segregation of EEC-Syndrome we observed five children--two girls and three males--(two of them dizygotic twins) affected by very various phenotypes of the syndrome. The ocular symptomatology was represented by agenesis or stenosis of lacrimal ducts: two children were operated, the other suffered from frequent inflammations. The study of the family suggest an autosomic dominant heredity with defect of penetrance on the father.
