We have studied 2 Egyptian sibs (the offspring of normal first cousins) with congenital cataract, hypertrichosis, mental retardation, and normal chromosomes.

Two disorders with cataract and mental retardation, Martsolf syndrome and Mollica-Pavone-Anterer syndrome, have overlapping manifestations and therefore are particularly differentiated from our cases.
