Blepharophimosis, ptosis, polythelia and brachydactyly (BPPB): a new autosomal dominant syndrome? 1993

A father and two sons with blepharophimosis, ptosis, polythelia and brachydactyly are presented, apparently without other abnormalities. The features do not fit into any previously described syndrome. This condition may represent a hitherto undescribed syndrome, although resemblance with the blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome exists. Inheritance is probably autosomal dominant.
