Roentgencephalometric anomalies in three cases of Warkany syndrome (trisomy 8 mosaicism) are described. These include asymmetry of the mandible with a wide gonial angle and a high and narrow symphysis; SNA (anteroposterior position of maxilla) and SNB (anteroposterior position of mandible) values indicate a backward position of the mandible. Other findings point to a disturbance in the vertical growth of the facial skeleton. These measurements may explain at least part of the facial phenotype and may aid in diagnosis, especially in those cases with an uncertain clinical diagnosis and "normal" karyotype in peripheral blood lymphocytes.
