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.
