Consanguinity allows for the expression of rare genetic disorders. We present the first case of an infant, born to consanguineous parents, with congenital lamellar ichthyosis, congenital lymphatic malformation, congenital hypothyroidism, bilateral megaureter, benign external hydrocephalus, and syrinx of the spinal cord. We review the disorders, examine their genetic causes, and explore the genetic connection among them.
