Abstract
Three sibs out of four, born to unrelated parents, developed early cutaneous photosensitivity and severe colitis. All of them died from untreatable diarrhoea. A fourth boy, whose father was different, did not have the same symptoms. The origin of this syndrome remains unclear and, in particular, no metabolic defect could be detected.
