The Acro-renal Syndrome of Curran

Abstract
A 9 yr old girl with symmetrical acral deformities and anomalies of the renal tract was described. There were 4 previous reports of this association, all in phenotypic males. In each case there was moderate intellectual retardation, and in 2 cases dermatoglyphic analysis revealed abnormalities. There is now sufficient evidence to give the acro-renal syndrome independent status.
