RESULTSThe 18 patients (including the three deceased infants) descended from 12 families, nine of which were Jewish and three Arab. Of these, 11 were boys. Physical findings are summarized in Table 2. In eight families tire parents were first cousins, and in one of these an additional intermarriage was found in the ascendancy. Ten of the Jewish patients were born in Israel and three abroad (two in Rumania, one in Algeria). The Arab patients were all born in this country. In addition to the cardinal pentad, other abnormalities were found in several patients. In one patient, pathologic changes in the eyes were found which apparently were not connected with the tapetoretinal degeneration. Two other patients had congenital heart disease, two had kidney disease, and another had unilateral hip luxation (Tables 1 and 2). This lesion was also found in a sister of another patient, who showed no sign of the LMBB.All patients examined were night-blind. They all had congenital malformations of their extremities, hypogenitalism and were mentally defective. They were also obese. All had polydactyly, sometimes syndactyly in at least one extremity. The supernumerary digit was always very short. In some cases, two or three other digits of the affected limb were also abnormally short. The polydactyly usually was of the postaxial type. There seemed to be a preference for an additional finger at the ulnar side, and of an additional toe at the lateral side of the foot.
