摘要：

We studied a 28-year-old Yemeni woman with typical Seckel syndrome. Two deceased sibs, a twin sister and a brother, had also been affected. The father of these individuals was married to his cousin's daughter: the pedigree suggests autosomal recessive inheritance. Classical Seckel syndrome has not been reported previously in Arabs, and this appears to be the first report from the Middle East. (C) 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
