A genetic association between microcephaly and lymphedema.
We discuss a family in which microcephaly and lymphedema are co-segregating as an apparently autosomal or X-linked dominant trait. A review of each malformation is presented with reference to the known genetic patterns of each. This combination of microcephaly and lymphedema may be a unique syndrome, previously undescribed because of subtleties of expression in affected individuals.
