Abstract
We describe 2 cases of DiGeorge anomaly with bilateral renal agenesis- one, who also had hemivertebrae, in an infant of an insulin-dependent diabetic mother (IDDM). In a review we identified 2 other instances of this combination, both in IDDMs. The currently accepted notion that D iGeorge anomaly and renal agenesis are developmental field defects, co upled with their coincidence in IDDM, suggests that this combination i s an association.
