Coloboma Of Macula And Skeletal Anomalies

Phillips and Griffiths (1969) described a brother and sister with bilateral macular coloboma, cleft palate, hallux valgus and other abnormalities. The parents were not related. The ocular trait was similar to that described by Sorsby as a dominant and listed here as 'coloboma of the macula with type B brachydactyly' (120400). Digital abnormalities present in the sibs reported by Phillips and Griffiths were of relatively mild type and different nature than those in Sorsby's family.
