    Abstract

    Two sibs with non-deletional alpha thalassaemia and mental retardation (ATR-X) have been ascertained showing variable neurological features. The proband had a complex neurological picture with recurrent apnoea, complex partial seizures, and prolonged periods of semiconsciousness between 12 and 17 months of age. Episodes of spontaneous laughter were also a feature. An EEG was initially normal. Hb H inclusions were present but rare in this family. The sole genital anomaly was deficiency of the foreskin, a feature not previously described in ATR-X.
