We report on two male infants with a lethal skeletal dysplasia characterized by cleft palate, midface hypoplasia, downward-slanting palpebral fissures, small thorax, and bowed limbs with absent fibulae. The clinical and radiographic changes are similar to those seen in the recently proposed oto-palato-digital syndrome, type II [Fitch et al, 1983]. The disorder is X-linked with heterozygous females being more mildly affected.
