A new syndrome: thrombocytopathia, muscle fatigue, asplenia, miosis, migraine, dyslexia and ichthyosis

Abstract

A new multifacetted syndrome inherited as an autosomal, dominant trait is described encompassing not only two hitherto undescribed hereditary defects--thrombocytopathia and asplenia--but also muscle contractile defect, migraine-like headache, miosis, dyslexia and ichthyosis. None of these defects has so far been assigned to a specific chromosome or linkage group. Further studies on the various aspects of the syndrome are in progress.
