Abstract

Feingold in 1975 originally described a father, son, and grandmother with microcephaly, hand abnormalities, tracheoesophageal fistula, duodenal atresia, and normal intelligence. Later in 1978, Feingold reported a mother and daughter with similar findings except for the absence of tracheoesophageal fistula and duodenal atresia.
