Abstract

A female infant with hypoglossia-hypodactyly syndrome is presented. Her mother underwent chorionic villus sampling (CVS) at 9 weeks gestation. This is the seventh reported case of oromandibular-limb hypogenesis syndrome associated with maternal CVS, the first from the United States. These seven CVS-related cases represent a significant increase over this syndrome's 'natural' incidence of 1 per 175000 live births. An excess of limb reduction deformities has also been seen following CVS. These seven cases are reviewed, and the possible etiology of this rare condition is discussed.
