Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Microcephaly primary hereditary (MCPH) is characterized by a reduced occipitofrontal circumference. We assessed the clinical and genetic characteristics of three Iranian individuals from two consanguineous families diagnosed with MCPH. METHODS AND RESULTS: Probands underwent whole-exome sequencing (WES). Sanger sequencing was used to confirm the candidate mutation and to analyze segregation within...
