Abstract:
We report on two Korean siblings with multiple congenital anomalies : microcephaly, gyral abnormality, minor facial anomalies, and congenital nephrotic syndrome. The first infant developed proteinuria at age 3 days. This condition appeared similar to that described by Galloway and Mowat and reviewed by Cooperstone, et al, especially the presence of abnormal gyral patterns. She died at 19 months. The second infant; the brother of the first baby had a very similar condition. These two cases may represent the first cases of Galloway-Mowat syndrome in the Korean population.
