Three cases, one with aglossia‐adactylia and two with aglossia, are presented, all of whom were born to consanguineous families. Although none of the cases had similarly affected sibs, the possibility of the autosomal recessive mode of inheritance might be taken into account in this syndrome. The dermatoglyphic findings in one previously reported patient showed great similarity to those of one of our cases.
