Familial trigonocephaly associated with short stature and developmental delay
B. Say and J. Meyer
A family in which three male members had premature closure of the metopic
suture with other suture involvement was studied. Each of the affected
persons also had short stature and delayed development. The pattern of
inheritance appeared to be X-linked recessive; however, the possibility of
autosomal dominant inheritance with low expressivity in women could not be
excluded. Findings in these patients did not fit the previously described
syndromes of craniostenosis.
