Abstract excerpt
A family is presented with multiple cases of mild mental retardation, schizophrenia and other functional psychoses, progressive hearing loss, and retinitis pigmentosa (RP). It closely resembles a previously reported Finnish family. We suggest that the phenotypes are not associated in this family by chance, but define a novel syndrome which may be caused by a mutant allele at a single genetic locus.
