Popis: Introduction Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) is an uncommon autosomal dominant disorder defined by congenital cardiac defects, some anatomical deformities in the upper limb and conduction abnormalities. Sequence alteration of TBX5 gene located on chromosome 12 has associated with HOS. Case report We present the case of a 26-year-old female with known upper limb alteration and ventricular septal defect who later in life developed Crohn's disease. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge association of Holt-Oram syndrome with Crohn's disease has not been reported in literature before. Therefore, a possible genetic connection between Holt-Oram syndrome and Crohn's disease remains to be determined.
