  Such heterozygous females may have abnormalities of the fingers and/or toes (digital anomalies), an unusually small head (microcephaly), and/or short stature. Causes Lenz microphthalmia syndrome is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait. [rarediseases.org]

• Short Arm

  Each chromosome has a short arm designated “p” and a long arm designated “q”. Chromosomes are further sub-divided into many bands that are numbered. For example, “chromosome Xq27” refers to band 27 on the long arm of the X chromosome. [rarediseases.org]

  These usually include an abnormally small head (microcephaly) and malformations of the ears and teeth. [rarediseases.org]

  Hearing impairment may be present in some cases. The teeth may be widely spaced or abnormally crowded. In addition, front teeth (incisors) may be absent (agenesis) or malformed. [rarediseases.org]
