Polycystic kidney disease in a patient with the oral-facial-digital syndrome - type I

Clin Genet. 1976 Feb;9(2):183-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-0004.1976.tb01565.x.

Abstract

Bilateral polycystic kidneys and chronic renal failure were observed in a 48-year-old woman with the classic clinical features of the oral-facial-digital syndrome, Type I (OFD-I). Since this association has been previously reported in two other patients, these findings suggest that polycystic kidneys may be a hitherto unrecognized manifestation of the oral-facial-digital syndrome.
