Abstract
24 families of probands with a high head circumference/height ratio greater than the 97th percentile were investigated for head circumference and height. It is concluded that "benign macrocephaly" represents rather the upper extreme of the normal distribution of head circumference than--as has been suggested by some authors--a discrete and autosomal dominant entity.
