title: Apparently new autosomal recessive syndrome of mental retardation, distal limb deficiencies, oral involvement, and possible renal defect.
abstract: This paper illustrates a syndrome of distal limb deficiency and oral defects in two sibs, a moderately mentally retarded man and his mildly retarded sister. Both have microretrognathia, microstomia, normal tongue, and symmetric severe limb deficiencies. This seems to be a previously undescribed syndrome. The nosology of the different orofacial syndromes associated with distal limb deficiencies is discussed.
