Pulmonary and diaphragmatic agenesis: report of affected sibs

Am J Med Genet. 1985 May;21(1):87-92. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.1320210113.

Abstract

We report on two sibs with pulmonary and diaphragmatic agenesis, a rare combination of malformations. We conclude that this represents a previously undescribed autosomal recessive condition affecting either multiple developmental fields or a single complex polytopic field.
