We describe a boy with multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation (MC
A/MR) syndrome. He has growth retardation, microbrachycephaly, coloboma of
the iris, and typical facial anomalies including cleft lip/palate. This phe
notype overlaps with that described by Richieri-Costa and Guion-Almeida in
three Brazilian brothers. The new patient provides further evidence of the
existence of this rare clinical entity. Am. J. Med. Genet. 83:419-421, 1999
