title: Three patients with the osteochondrodysplasia and hypertrichosis syndrome--Cantu syndrome.
abstract: Cantu syndrome is a rare condition whose main features are hypertrichosis, cardiac anomalies and wide ribs. Four children have been described and we now present details of a further three. The parents of one of these are first cousins, adding weight to Cantu's theory that the condition is an autosomal recessive disease.
