The heterogeneity of microphthalmia in the mentally retarded.

The hereditary cases of microphthalmia in the mentally retarded are not all of the partially sex-linked type as has hitherto been stated. A survey is given of published cases of dominant, autosomal recessive and sex-linked recessive pedigrees with the coincidence of microphthalmia and mental retardation. The common misconception of Norrie's disease being regraded as microphthalmia or hereditary corneal dystrophy instead of phthisis is noted. Present knowledge of chromosomal aberrations associated with microphthalmia is surveyed, and some of the syndromes and phenocopies in the mentally retarded in which microphthalmia may be found are reviewed. The survey, however, does not pretend to be a complete inventory of causes of microphthalmia in the mentally retarded.

Heterogeneity in gingival fibromatosis.

A review of cases indicated that gingival fibromatosis occurs in a variety of genetic entities. High risk for epilepsy and oligophrenia is associated if hypertrichosis is present. Other entities are symmetrical gingival fibromatosis; Zimmermann-Laband syndrome with bone, ear, nose and nail defects and hepatosplenomegaly; Murray syndrome with multiple hyaline dermal tumors; Rutherfurd syndrome with corneal dystrophy; Cowden syndrome with hypertrichosis, oligophrenia and giant fibroadenomatosis of breasts and Cross syndrome of hypopigmentation, oligophrenia and athetosis.

[The cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal syndrome].

A further case of the cerebro-oculo-facio skeletal syndrome is described. The child, the first of healthy parents with no significant family history, died on the 4th day of life because of renal failure and respiratory difficulties. The dysmorphic features were microcephaly, microphthalmia, high nasal bridge, lax skin with a prominent skin fold extending below the eyes, large upper lip, fixed flexion deformities of the limbs, short fingers with campodactyly, talus valgus and longitudinal plantar groove. At autopsy there was renal agenesis, a hypoplastic bladder, bilateral cataract with atrophy of the iris and retina. The relationship between Potter's syndrome and other oculo renal syndromes are discussed. The diagnosis is important because this syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive.
