Abstract
A boy with sparse red hair, absent eye-brows and eyelashes, cutaneous telangiectasia, poorly developed subcutaneous fat and normocomplementaemic membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is described. Additional findings were an old-looking, peculiar face, mild developmental delay, calcified choroid plexus and renal arteriolosclerosis. It is believed that this is a new case of a newly recognized entity.
