Preferred Label : Epiphyseal dysplasia of femoral head, myopia, and deafness;
Type : Other, mainly phenotypes with suspected mendelian basis;
Description : In 3 sons of third-cousin parents, Pfeiffer et al. (1973) described a syndrome of
femoral capital epiphyseal dysplasia, severe myopia, and deafness. Stature was normal.
Although the femoral heads showed the most striking epiphyseal dysplasia, the changes
were apparently not limited to that site. The authors found no reported case that
seemed identical to these. *FIELD* RF 1. Pfeiffer, R. A.; Junemann, G.; Polster, J.;
