CYSTIC KIDNEY-DISEASE IN HAJDU-CHENEY SYNDROME

We report on 2 unrelated patients with Hajdu-Cheney acroosteolysis syn drome, who had cystic kidneys with ultrasonographic changes similar to those of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Neither had a family history of Hajdu-Cheney syndrome or polycystic kidneys, nor man ifestations of any other syndrome. On the basis of the findings in the se 2 patients and a review of published cases, we suggest that cystic kidneys are an important component of Hajdu-Cheney syndrome. (C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
