We report a family with three generations of an ELN deletion. The grandfather was normal except for two inguinal herniotomies. The first generation identical twins had supravalvular aortic and multiple peripheral pulmonary artery stenoses. The second generation twins died during the neonatal period of myocardial infarcts.
