[Mental retardation in childhood. The prevalence of informative morphogenetic variants].
The authors observed the prevalence of informative morphogenetic variants among mentally retarded children. In their retrospective examination of a 4-years period, they included 135 hospitalized children and analysed their clinical epidemiological and dysmorphic profiles. In their descriptive analysis they found ear abnormalities and abnormal head circumference as the most common dysmorphic sings among mentally retarded children, and they emphasize the highly different importance and predictive-diagnostic value of minor malformations and phenogenetic variants.
