Tetra-amelia, lung hypo-/aplasia, cleft lip-palate, and heart defect: a new syndrome?
We report on a family with two sons affected with tetra-amelia, cleft lip-palate, bilateral agenesis of lungs, and heart defects. These two cases support the previous suggestions that this complex entity may indeed represent a new syndrome. However, the mode of inheritance is still not clarified.
