Microcephaly, mental retardation, cataracts, and hypogonadism in sibs: Martsolf's syndrome

J Med Genet. 1989 Jun;26(6):397-400. doi: 10.1136/jmg.26.6.397.

Abstract

The association of microcephaly, mental retardation, cataracts, and hypogonadism is described in sibs (brother and sister) of consanguineous parents. These features are consistent with a diagnosis of Martsolf's syndrome. In addition, one sib had a cardiomyopathy while the other had cardiac failure.
