    Holt-Oram syndrome with hypoplastic left heart syndrome in an African child
    (National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria, 2004-09) Ekure, E.N.; Okoromah, C.N.; Briggs, E.; Ajenifuja, O.A.
    This report illustrates the rare association of Holt-Oram syndrome with hypoplastic left heart syndrome hitherto unreported in an African child. The above association is highlighted as this child and the only other case reported in a Caucasian were diagnosed post mortem. The need for early cardiovascular and genetic evaluation or simple detailed family history to aid counselling is also emphasised.
