J Med Genet. 1988 Nov;25(11):758-61. doi: 10.1136/jmg.25.11.758.

Abstract

Three children are reported, a male and female sib pair of Sikh origin and a male child who was the offspring of first cousin Pakistani Muslims, with Hirschsprung's disease, hypoplastic nails, and similar minor dysmorphic features. We consider that they represent a distinct autosomal recessive syndrome.
