It was observed that fathers (male heterozygotes) had shorter forearms, the ratio of upper arm forearm was significantly increased compared to male controls. In mothers (female heterozygotes) the inter-pupillary distance was increased, the ratio of head circumference to inter-pupillary distance was decreased compared to female controls.
