Another family with the 'Habsburg jaw'

J Med Genet. 1988 Dec;25(12):838-42. doi: 10.1136/jmg.25.12.838.

Abstract

We report a three generation family with similar facial characteristics to those of the Royal Habsburgs, including mandibular prognathism, thickened lower lip, prominent, often misshapen nose, flat malar areas, and mildly everted lower eyelids. One child had craniosynostosis which may be part of the syndrome.
