Abstract

Ectrodactyly, with or without other limb reduction defects, is a rare congenital anomaly. The pattern of inheritance is usually autosomal dominant, but with variable morphology. We report six generations of a family with this anomaly, with a progressive increase in severity and extent of involvement. Implications of genetic counseling are discussed.
