Case of ovarian dysgenesis and dilated cardiomyopathy supports existence of Malouf syndrome.

We describe an 18-year-old girl with ovarian dysgenesis, dilated cardiomyopathy, mild mental retardation, broad nasal base, blepharoptosis, and minor skeletal abnormalities. This unusual association of manifestations was first reported by Malouf et al. [1985]. Our patient, although a sporadic case, supports the existence of Malouf syndrome. © Wiley-Liss, Inc.
