title: Goldberg-Shprintzen syndrome: report of a new family and review of the literature.
abstract: In 1981, Goldberg and Shprintzen described siblings with short-segment Hirschsprung disease, cleft palate, microcephaly, mild mental retardation, short stature and distinctive facial appearance. There have been several subsequent reports which broaden the phenotype. This paper describes a further family, reviews the literature and stresses the intra-familial variability.
