  • Title: A dominant syndrome of metacarpal and metatarsal asymmetry with tarsal and carpal fusions, syndactyly, articular dysplasia and platyspondyly.
    Author: Christian JC, Franken EA, Lindeman JP, Lindseth RE, Reed T, Scott CI.
    Journal: Clin Genet; 1975 Jul; 8(1):75-80. PubMed ID: 168022.
    Abstract:
    A mother and daughter with metacarpal and metatarsal asymmetry, tarsal and carpal fusions, long bone articular dysplasia and platyspondyly are reported as a possible autosomal dominant syndrome affecting skeletal development. The asymmetry of the second metacarpals is perhaps the most striking finding and resulted in a range of bone lengths in the two individuals from minus 6.3 to plus 3.7 standard deviations from the mean.
