Microphthalmia, marked short stature, hearing loss, and developmental delay: extension of the phenotype of GOMBO syndrome?

Am J Med Genet. 1997 Oct 3;72(1):18-23. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1096-8628(19971003)72:1<18::aid-ajmg4>3.0.co;2-r.

Abstract

An adult male with microphthalmia, severe developmental delay, conductive hearing loss, marked short stature of prenatal onset, and radiographic skeletal changes is described. A review of the literature, focusing on his major findings, suggests that his manifestations might be an extension of the phenotype of GOMBO (growth retardation, ocular abnormalities, microcephaly, brachydactyly, oligophrenia) syndrome.
