A NEW SYNDROME OF DYSMORPHOGENESIS: IMPERFORATE‐ANUS ASSOCIATED WITH POLY‐OLIGODACTYLY AND SKELETAL (MAINLY VERTEBRAL) ANOMALIES

Abstract
Summary: Nine patients having imperforate anus and hand malformations with or without vertebral anomalies have been presented. The similarity of the findings in these patients to those seen among the members of the luxoid group of mouse mutants, such as the dominant hemimelia (Dh) mutants has been emphasized. Similar cases reported in the literature have been briefly reviewed.
