Am J Med Genet. 1992 Feb 1;42(3):320-2. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.1320420312.

Abstract

We report on 2 sibs with the Klein-Waardenburg syndrome; they had dystopia canthorum, blepharophimosis, and bilateral flexion contractures of the fingers. The children's father and paternal aunt are also affected. This report confirms that the Klein-Waardenburg syndrome is an autosomal dominant syndrome.
