Two brothers are described with trichomegaly, early pigmentary degeneration of the retina, growth retardation, anterior pituitary deficiencies and peripheral neuropathy. This syndrome, initially reported in a boy by Olivers and Mac Farlane in 1965 (6), and thereafter in six sporadic cases of both sexes, is not associated with a recognizable chromosomal defect. The present report of two brothers of healthy parents with negative familial history suggests an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance of this entity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007006 Hypogonadism Condition resulting from deficient gonadal functions, such as GAMETOGENESIS and the production of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES. It is characterized by delay in GROWTH, germ cell maturation, and development of secondary sex characteristics. Hypogonadism can be due to a deficiency of GONADOTROPINS (hypogonadotropic hypogonadism) or due to primary gonadal failure (hypergonadotropic hypogonadism).
