Borjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome: two severely handicapped females in a family

We report on a case of Borjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome (BFS) in which two sisters appear with the clinical picture of severe mental handicap, dysmorphic features and grand mal seizures. Their mother presents the above symptomatology in a milder degree. It is one of the few reports in literature where females develop BFS in its typical clinical form.
