An Isolated Autosomal Dominant Trait

G. Frank Judisch, MD; Stephen P. Kraft, MD, FRCS(C); James A. Bartley, MD, PhD; Charles G. Jacoby, MD

Arch Ophthalmol. 1984;102(7):995-997.

Abstract
• Four patients from three consecutive generations of a family with ocular hypotelorism are described. Radiographs document a subnormal distance between the medial orbital walls. To our knowledge, this is the first report of heritable isolated orbital hypotelorism. The pedigree is consistent with an autosomal dominant disorder.
