Abstract

We describe five sporadic cases of the EEC syndrome (ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and cleft lip). There are only a few reports of the syndrome being inherited in Japan. Two of the five patients had genitourinary anomalies and one mental retardation. Four of the five patients had clefts in the primary and secondary palate. All had deformities of the hands, polydactyly, syndactyly, and camptodactyly. Syndactyly could be a component of the syndrome.
