The acro-renal syndrome of Curran.
A nine-year-old girl with symmetrical acral deformities and anomalies of the renal tract is described. There have been four previous reports of this association, all in phenotypic males. In each case there was moderate intellectual retardation and in two cases dermatoglyphic analysis revealed abnormalities. It is suggested that there is now sufficient evidence to give the acro-renal syndrome independent status.
