We report two female sibs, with severe split-hand/split-foot malformation associated with renal and genital anomalies. The patients also have severe mandibular hypoplasia and some other, minor anomalies. The relationship to the acro-renal "syndrome" in particular and to other phenotypes with similar malformations in general is discussed. Because of consanguinity in the parents, autosomal recessive inheritance seems likely. However, the presence of a septate uterus in the mother and a double collecting system in the only living sib could also suggest possible dominant inheritance with variable expressivity.

A fetus with ectrodactyly, Pierre Robin sequence, renal aplasia and other anomalies is reported. The features are compared with other cases with limb and renal abnormalities reported in the literature. This case along with similar two cases reported by Halal and Tobias delineates acro-renal-mandibular syndrome as a distinct entity.

An 18 week male fetus is described with Acro-renal-mandibular syndrome. This third reported case of the syndrome is the first known male case and extends the phenotypic spectrum that characterizes the condition.

Although limb and renal defects occur together in a variety of patterns of multiple malformations, familial cases of acro-renal disorders are rare. In 1980, Halal et al. ¿Am J Med Genet 5:277-284 described two sisters with unusual limb deficiencies, renal anomalies, and mandibular hypoplasia and termed this condition acro-renal-mandibular syndrome.
