A man of 32 is described suffering from a combination of three disorders: cutis verticis gyrata, severe mental deficiency and aplasia of the thyroid. Four of his close relatives were also severely retarded. The possibility is discussed of the syndrome being inherited through an X-linked recessive gene.
