Autosomal dominant microcephaly with mental retardation. 1989

E Bawle, and M Horton
Department of Pediatrics, Wayne State University, Detroit.

A 3-year-old girl, her mother, and maternal uncle had microcephaly and mental retardation. Their facial appearance is characterized by deep-set eyes, short philtrums, and a "beaked" nose. The mother and uncle live in an adult foster care facility because of mental retardation. The 3-year-old girl has a developmental quotient of 55. Mother has normal phenylalanine level and the child's chromosomes are normal. This appears to be a first report of a autosomal dominant form of microcephaly associated with mild to moderate mental retardation in contrast to absent or mild mental retardation described in earlier reports.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008607 Intellectual Disability Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual has an intellectual disability. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range. Scores below 67 are in the disabled range.
