Description : Halal et al. (1980) described a French-Canadian family in which 2 sisters had an unusual
combination of limb deficiencies and renal anomalies. The first child had split feet
and dysplastic polycystic kidneys in addition to a very hypoplastic mandible, right
diaphragmatic hernia, and uterus didelphys. Her sister had split right hand and split
feet, bilateral renal agenesis, uterus unicornis, rib and vertebral anomalies, and
a hypoplastic mandible. The parents were second cousins. The mother had a septate
uterus, while a healthy sister was found to have a right duplex renal collecting system.
The limbs of the mother and the healthy sister were normal. Fitch (1981) called attention
to an earlier report by Fitch and Lachance (1972) of a similarly affected girl who
had split-hand and split-foot defects, bilateral renal hypoplasia, and a bicornuate
uterus. The jaw was apparently normal. Evans et al. (2000) reported a Canadian Aboriginal
family in which 3 sibs, born to third-cousin parents, had a similar syndrome. The
first affected sib died within 1 hour after birth. The third affected sib resulted
from a spontaneous vaginal delivery of a macerated stillbirth at 34 weeks' gestation.
Evans et al. (2000) reviewed 2 similarly affected sibs reported by Hennekam et al.
(1994) as possible Bartsocas-Papas syndrome (263650). The disorder in the 5 cases
of Evans et al. (2000) and Hennekam et al. (1994) appeared to have a more severe type
of acrorenal disorder, inherited as an autosomal recessive. Tobias et al. (2001) described
what they considered to be the first male case of acrorenal-mandibular syndrome, in
an 18-week-old fetus. The fetus had bilateral renal agenesis, marked mandibular hypoplasia,
and a claw-like deformity of the left foot resulting from a combination of ectrodactyly,
syndactyly, and polydactyly. The fetus also had a narrow head, downslanting palpebral
fissures, slight webbing of the neck, low-set posteriorly rotated ears, a long flat
philtrum, choanal stenosis, midflexion contractures of the left shoulder and elbow
joints, and a varus deformity of the feet. *FIELD* RF 1. Evans, J. A.; Phillips, S.;
