title: Holoprosencephaly and primary craniosynostosis: the Genoa syndrome.
abstract: We report on 2 sibs with holoprosencephaly of the semilobar type, unusual facial appearance not diagnostic of holoprosencephaly, and primary craniosynotosis involving the coronal and lambdoid sutures. The condition represents a newly recognized syndrome, possibly having autosomal recessive inheritance.
