Abstract
A large family is reported in which microcephaly and short stature is segregating as a probably autosomal dominantly inherited trait. Some affected members also show a delayed onset of puberty. No other clinical or radiological symptoms are present, and psychomotor development is normal. This short report confirms an earlier description of a similar family by Burton in 1981.Keywords
