A family is described in which 2 siblings born to healthy parents presented with abnormal facies, persistent diarrhea and early death. Exhaustive pathological and biochemical investigations failed to find a cause. The scalp hair of both babies had an abnormal amino acid composition and presented an appearance that was unique on scanning electron microscopic examination; this fact and the clinical picture probably represent a new syndrome.
