We describe a Brazilian boy with semilobar holoprosencephaly, ectrodactyly, bilateral cleft of lip and palate, and severe mental retardation. The karyotype was normal and the screening for mutations in the genes SHH , TGIF , SIX3 , GLI2 , TP73L , and DHCR7 did not show any change. This rare condition was described previously in seven male patients. Clinical and genetic aspects are discussed. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
