Description : Shotelersuk et al. (2003) described a Thai sister and brother, born of healthy, unrelated
parents, with a combination of features interpreted as representing a novel autosomal
recessive multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation (MCA/MR) syndrome. Both
sibs had postnatal-onset growth deficiency, microcephaly with cortical dysplasia and
cerebellar atrophy, bilateral lenticular cataracts, prominent supraorbital ridges,
large joint contractures, severe osteoporosis, and mental retardation. The brother
also had infrequent tonic-clonic seizures beginning at age 5 years, an arachnoid cyst
in the right temporal area, bilateral ankle clonus, and upgoing plantar reflexes.
Two other sibs were healthy. Shotelersuk et al. (2003) compared and contrasted the
syndrome in these 2 sibs with other syndromes characterized by microcephaly, mental
retardation, growth failure, and childhood cataracts. *FIELD* RF 1. Shotelersuk, V.;
