title: Familial hypoparathyroidism with candidiasis and mental retardation.
abstract: Five new cases of the syndrome of hypoparathyroidism, candidiasis, and mental retardation are described and the importance of the dental findings in contributing toward a definite diagnosis is stressed. The close consanguineous relationship of the parents, first cousins in all of these cases, makes imperative the consideration of the concept that the syndrome is a congenital defect, transmitted by a recessive gene.
