Acro-renal-mandibular syndrome

Abstract

We report two female sibs, with severe split-hand/split-foot malformation associated with renal and genital anomalies. The patients also have severe mandibular hypoplasia and some other, minor anomalies. The relationship to the acro-renal "syndrome" in particular and to other phenotypes with similar malformations in general is discussed. Because of consanguinity in the parents, autosomal recessive inheritance seems likely. However, the presence of a septate uterus in the mother and a double collecting system in the only living sib could also suggest possible dominant inheritance with variable expressivity.
