Abstract
Cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome is characterized by complex congenital heart disease, characteristic facies, ectodermal abnormalities, growth failure, and mental retardation. It has been described as a distinctive entity from Noonan syndrome. This paper presents a child with cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome born to a mother with Noonan syndrome. This is suggestive of cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome being a variable expression of Noonan syndrome.
