Abstract
Cantu syndrome is a rare condition whose main features are hypertricho sis, cardiac anomalies and wide ribs. Four children have been describe d and we now present details of a further three. The parents of one of these are first cousins, adding weight to Cantu's theory that the con dition is an autosomal recessive disease. (C) Chapman & Hall Ltd.
