Abstract
The observation of two new cases in a previously reported family has brought about a change in the delineation of the syndrome initially defined. To the abnormalities already described (branchial dysplasia, mental deficiency, club feet, inguinal herniae) must be added a paucity of interlobular bile duts; the relationship between this new syndrome and the Alagille syndrome requires reconsideration.
