    A rare genetic syndrome affecting seven siblings is detailed, characterized by intellectual disability, small head size, and distinct facial features. Autosomal recessive inheritance is the likely cause of this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • A familial syndrome presenting with multiple congenital anomalies was observed in seven siblings.
    • The affected individuals exhibited a consistent pattern of developmental and physical abnormalities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel syndrome affecting multiple siblings.
    • To investigate the inheritance pattern of the observed syndrome.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical examination of seven siblings from unaffected parents.
    • Pedigree analysis to determine the mode of inheritance.

    Main Results:

    • Four of seven siblings presented with mental retardation, microcephaly, mongoloid slant, microcornea, strabismus, myopia, optic atrophy, high-arched palate, preauricular skin tags, and small mandible.

  • The unaffected parents were nonconsanguineous and of German ancestry.

    • Conclusions:

    • The described syndrome appears to be inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.
    • This genetic condition has significant implications for developmental and visual health.
