Holt-Oram syndrome in a Puerto Rican family--case reports.
The Holt-Oram syndrome is reported for the first time in a Puerto Rican family of one mother and two daughters. All had severe upper limb anomalies and secundum atrial septal defect. One daughter, the proband, had, in addition, a persistent left superior vena cava, a cardiac anomaly that has not been previously reported in association with the Holt-Oram syndrome.
