Pathologic features of the eye in Down's syndrome with relationship to other chromosomal anomalies

Abstract

A 2,990-g newborn female mongoloid had narrow palpebral fissures with a mongoloid slant and Brushfield's spots. Pathologic ocular findings resembled those found in patients with trisomy 21 syndrome. Many lesions reflected excessive genetic material and qualitatively resembled those lesions in trisomy 13 and 18 syndromes.
