Preferred Label : Kaufman oculocerebrofacial syndrome;

Symbol : KOS;

CISMeF acronym : BPIDS; KOS;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Blepharophimosis-ptosis-intellectual disability syndrome; BPIDS;

Description : Kaufman et al. (1971) described a distinctive syndrome in 4 of 7 sibs. Significant positive and negative features included intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation, microcephaly with mental retardation but no gross neurologic abnormalities or seizures, hypertelorism with epicanthi, ptosis of the eyelids, mongoloid obliquity of the palpebral fissures, microcornea with pale optic discs, sparse and laterally broad eyebrows, flat philtrum, congenital hypotonia, micrognathia with neonatal respiratory distress, high and narrow palate, lordosis, constipation and flat feet. Jurenka and Evans (1979) reported a sporadic case. Garcia-Cruz et al. (1988) and Briscioli et al. (1991) described cases. Figuera et al. (1993) reported the disorder in 2 unrelated Mexican girls, aged 14 months and 6 years. Both showed psychomotor retardation, microcephaly, blepharophimosis, and delayed growth as the main features. The infant also showed preauricular tags and large clitoris. Briscioli et al. (1995) concluded that only 8 cases had been reported to that time. They described an affected girl with severe mental retardation, microcephaly, long narrow face, ocular anomalies, and long thin hands and feet in whom the diagnosis of Kaufman oculocerebrofacial syndrome had been made at the age of 15 years. Difficulties in making the diagnosis in childhood were commented on. *FIELD* RF 1.
