We describe an individual in whom molecular genetic testing provided a diagnosis of the Carney complex, an autosomal dominant syndrome comprising cutaneous and cardiac myxomas, spotty pigmentation of the skin, and endocrinopathy. Recently, we localized the Carney complex disease gene to chromosome r
## Summary Carney complex is a rare cardiocutaneous syndrome with an autosomalβdominant inheritance pattern. Apart from its cutaneous manifestations of multiple blue naevi and lentigines, it can involve multiple other organ systems, particularly the heart, where myxoma tumours commonly develop and
We report on 2 brothers with severe manifestations of the whistling-face/windmill-vane-hand syndrome (also called "craniocarpotarsal dystrophy"; Freeman-Sheldon syndrome); they were born to normal, nonconsanguineous parents. Our observations support the theory of causal heterogeneity of this syndrom
