title: Postnatal growth failure, microcephaly, mental retardation, cataracts, large joint contractures, osteoporosis, cortical dysplasia, and cerebellar atrophy.
abstract: We describe two sibs with postnatal-onset growth deficiency, microcephaly, cataract, prominent supraorbital ridge, large joint contractures, severe osteoporosis, cortical dysplasia, cerebellar atrophy, and mental retardation. The combination appears to constitute a previously undescribed syndrome inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.
