Abstract
We report on the first known Bedouin family with Greig cephalopolysynd actyly syndrome (MIM 175700). The index patient and his father shared pre- and postaxial polysyndactyly, mild mental retardation, and corpus callosum dysgenesis. Their phenotypic findings were compared with rep orted cases of both Greig cephalopolysyndactyly (GCPS) and acrocallosa l syndromes. This family represents the second report of the rare occu rrence of dysgenesis of the corpus callosum in GCPS. (C) 1996 Wiley-Li ss, Inc.
