Tarsal and carpal coalition and symphalangism of the Fuhrmann type. Report of a family
JP Drawbert, DB Stevens, RG Cadle and BD Hall
We are reporting on fifteen members of a five-generation family
(sixty-three members) who had an autosomal dominant osseous disorder that
was characterized by tarsal and carpal coalition, symphalangism, short
first metacarpals, and abnormalities of the elbow, including humeroradial
fusion. This family is similar to the one reported by Fuhrmann et al.
