Two still‐born males whose mothers were sisters are presented. The features holoprosence‐phaly, hypokinesia, microcephaly, talipes, and other contractures correspond to those in the two male sibs reported by Morse et al , (1987). We suggest that our cases now provide evidence of an X‐linked rather than an autosomal recessive new syndrome.
