Three sibs with microcephaly, congenital heart disease, lung segmentation defects and unilateral absent kidney: a new recessive multiple congenital anomaly (MCA) syndrome?

Clin Dysmorphol. 1996 Apr;5(2):129-34. doi: 10.1097/00019605-199604000-00004.

Abstract

We present three sibs with similar dysmorphic features, including brain, heart and lung malformations that have not been reported previously. Cytogenetic studies have failed to demonstrate a chromosomal abnormality. Although parental consanguinity was not present, we suggest that this may constitute a new recessive syndrome.
