Malpuech facial clefting syndrome in a Japanese boy with cardiac defects

Abstract

We reported on a Japanese boy similar to the patients previously reported by Malpuech et al. (1983) with mental and growth retardation, hypertelorism, bilateral cleft lips, cleft palate, and urogenital anomalies. He also had undescribed cardiac defects. This is probably the second case report of Malpuech facial clefting syndrome. © 1995 The Japan Society of Human Genetics.
