β¦ Synopsis
Although limb and renal defects occur together in a variety of patterns of multiple malformations, familial cases of acro-renal disorders are rare. In 1980, Halal et al. [Am J Med Genet 5:277-284] described two sisters with unusual limb deficiencies, renal anomalies, and mandibular hypoplasia and termed this condition acro-renalmandibular syndrome. A girl reported earlier by Fitch and Lachance [1972; Can Med Assoc J 107:653-656] had similarly limb and renal findings, but an apparently normal jaw. We document three sibs with unusual limb deficiencies, renal agenesis, uterine anomalies in the two females, and orofacial defects, who clearly have a similar but more severe type of acrorenal disorder, apparently inherited as an autosomal recessive condition. The sibs with limb deficiencies and renal agenesis reported by Hennekam et al. [

A triad of acral, renal, and ocular abnormalities was reported previously in four families.

Okihiro/Duane-radial ray syndrome (DRRS) is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by radial ray defects and Duane anomaly (a form of strabismus). Other abnormalities reported in this condition are anal, renal, cardiac, ear, and foot malformations, and hearing loss. The disease is the result
We report on a family in which two sibs had apparently absent ribs and severe micrognathia on prenatal ultrasonography. The pregnancies were terminated at 19 and 12 weeks of gestation, respectively. Autopsy findings in the first fetus (19 weeks of gestation) included severe micrognathia, a Ushaped d
