Ts. Huang et al., A new syndrome: Heart defects, laryngeal anomalies, preaxial polydactyly, and colonic aganglionosis in sibs, GENET MED, 1(3), 1999, pp. 104-108
We present two siblings, one male and one female, who have heart defects, d
uplication of toes, airway anomalies, and aganglionosis. The brother also h
as a bilateral complete cleft lip and palate. His airway anomalies include
short epiglottis and aryepiglottic folds, which are different from his sist
er who has a bifid epiglottis with a central epiglottic mass. Both siblings
have had some developmental delay. This constellation of anomalies appears
to be unique and may represent a new autosomal recessive disorder.
