Goldberg-Shprintzen syndrome: Hirschsprung disease, hypotonia, and ptosis in sibs.

We describe a brother and sister with Hirschsprung disease, hypotonia, and ptosis. Their condition resembles that in 2 sibs reported by Goldberg and Shprintzen. We conclude that the clinical characteristics in 8 reported cases with similar clinical manifestations represent a distinct autosomal recessive syndrome, Goldberg-Shprintzen syndrome.
