Abstract

A family is reported in which microcephaly has been observed in at least 3 generations. The pedigree is most consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance. In addition to microcephaly, affected individuals exhibit significantly short stature, ocular anomalies and simple, protruding ears. Intellectual function is in the normal or borderline range.
