✦ Synopsis
Holzgreve et al. [Am J Med Genet 18177-184, 19841 first reported on a syndrome including renal anomalies, heart defect, polydactyly, and cleft palate with other oropharyngeal anomalies. W e report here on four sibs with renal adysplasia associated in two with cardiovascular malformations and cleft lip or cleft palate in two. W e propose that these patients as the two siblings reported by Thomas et al. [Am J Med Genet 45767-769, 19931 are affected with a syndrome different of the one described by Holzgreve et al. [Am J Med Genet 18:177-184,19841 mainly because of the absence of polydactyly. Thomas syndrome is probably inherited as an autosomal recessive trait with marked variability.
