Abstract
We describe a boy with multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation (MC A/MR) syndrome. He has growth retardation, microbrachycephaly, coloboma of the iris, and typical facial anomalies including cleft lip/palate. This phe notype overlaps with that described by Richieri-Costa and Guion-Almeida in three Brazilian brothers. The new patient provides further evidence of the existence of this rare clinical entity.
