Type : Phenotype or locus, molecular basis unknown;
Alternative titles and symbols : Blepharophimosis-mental retardation syndrome, verloes type; Blepharophimosis with facial and genital anomalies and mental retardation;
Description : Nowaczyk and Sutcliffe (1999) described 2 sibs, a 2.5-year-old girl and a 10-month-old
boy, with an apparently novel combination of congenital anomalies: blepharophimosis,
ptosis, midface hypoplasia, abnormal palate, low anterior and posterior hairlines,
displaced hair whorl, apparently low-set and abnormally shaped ears, trigonocephaly,
dental anomalies, laryngomalacia, sensorineural hearing loss, genital anomalies, hypotonia,
and mental retardation. They proposed autosomal recessive inheritance. The parents
were not related. The father was from El Salvador and the mother was of English and
Irish descent. There were no recognized teratogenic exposures during the pregnancies.
The girl had underdeveloped labia majora, and the labia minora were easily visible.
The boy had grade 1 hypospadias with a cleft prepuce, shawl scrotum, and fine lanugo
hair over the scrotum. *FIELD* RF 1. Nowaczyk, M. J. M.; Sutcliffe, T. L.: Blepharophimosis,
