Abstract
We report two brothers who were born after pregnancies characterized b y polyhydramnios and hypokinesia. Both had brain malformations (absenc e of corpus callosum in one; arhinencephaly in the other), telecanthus and narrow palpebral fissures. This family and several similar phenot ypes reported only in affected brothers could reflect X-linked inherit ance.
