title: Cleft lip/palate, abnormal ears, ectrodactyly, congenital heart defect, and growth retardation: definition of the acro-cardio-facial syndrome.
abstract: We report on a male patient with a constellation of malformations, including cleft lip/palate, abnormal ears, ectrodactyly, congenital heart defect (CHD), and growth retardation. A similar association has been previously reported twice [Richieri-Costa and Orquizas (1987) Rev Brasil Genet X:787-792; Giannotti et al. (1995) J Med Genet 32:72-74], and autosomal recessive inheritance was proposed.
