Abstract:
We report two brothers who were born after pregnancies characterized by polyhydramnios and hypokinesia. Both had brain malformation (absence of corpus callosum in one; arhinencephaly in the other), telecanthus and narrow palpebral fissures. This family and several similar phenotypes reported only in affected brothers could reflect X-linked inheritance.
