Familial occurrence of ptosis, nasal speech, prominent ears, hand anomalies and learning problems.

Abstract:

:We describe a four-generation family in whom 5 members show the combination of a large head, ptosis, nasal speech that sometimes goes along with a cleft palate, full cheeks, small mouth, and prominent ears, and who also have learning problems. We evaluated three affected members in detail and found them to have in addition a partial cutaneous syndactyly between the third and fourth fingers, an increased distance between second and third finger, and a decreased smell. We have not been unable to find other patients described in literature with the same combination of features, and suggest this to represent a hitherto unrecognizable entity. Pattern of inheritance is likely to be autosomal dominant.
