Abstract
We report an inbred Omani family with four children in two sibships affected with a recessive type of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, associated with macrocephaly frontal lobe atrophy on CT scan of the brain, lymphoedema and a distinctive facial appearance. We suggest that the constellation of abnormalities in these children represents a previously undescribed syndrome.
