A rare multiple congenital anomalies/dysmorphic syndrome characterized by skeletal dysplasia (including coronal clefting of the vertebral bodies and short limbs and variable congenital heart malformations, such as atrial and ventricular septal defects, right ventricular hypoplasia, and valve defects).
