A previously undescribed genetic syndrome with multiple congenital malformations is described. The major components include: 1) horseshoe kidneys; 2) severe mental retardation; 3) characteristic facies; and 4) heart defects. Evidence for considering it to be an autosomal recessive syndrome is also discussed.
