The "long-thumb" brachydactyly syndrome

Am J Med Genet. 1981;8(1):5-16. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.1320080103.

Abstract

A unique variety of brachydactyly associated with skeletal and joint anomalies and possible cardiac conduction defects has been observed in three generations of one family in a pattern consistent with autosomal-dominant transmission. This combination of anomalies has not previously been seen together as a single syndrome. We report clinical and radiographic studies in three of the four affected members.
