Preferred Label : Mcdonough syndrome;
Type : Other, mainly phenotypes with suspected mendelian basis;
Description : Neuhauser and Opitz (1975) described a family with a multiple congenital anomalies/mental
retardation (MCA/MR) syndrome consisting of mental retardation, peculiar facies, kyphoscoliosis,
diastasis recti, cryptorchidism, and congenital heart defect. They called it McDonough
syndrome. Three of 5 sibs were affected, leading to a suggestion of autosomal recessive
inheritance. The authors considered it coincidental that the youngest affected sib
had a chromosomal complement 47,XXY and the father was a mosaic 46,XY/47,XXY. Garcia-Sagredo
et al. (1984) reported a second family in which 2 of 3 sibs (a girl and a boy) were
affected. It was considered coincidental that the affected boy and the unaffected
mother had a balanced X;20 translocation. The father had ptosis, which was also considered
coincidental. *FIELD* RF 1. Garcia-Sagredo, J. M.; Lozano, C.; Ferrando, P.; San Roman,
