Seckel syndrome is a recessively inherited dwarfism characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, proportionate postnatal dwarfism, severe microcephaly, micrognathia, and 'bird-headed' profile. Mental retardation also occurs. Genes that control cellular responses to DNA damage are linked to the syndrome.
