title: Hereditary malformation of the toes and fingers in a family with double translocation heterozygosity.
abstract: A hereditary malformation of the metatarsophalangeal joints, called here "tear drop" deformity, and a cut off appearance of the distal phalanges of the toes is described in a family with double translocation t (7; 12), t (2; 6) heterozygosity. A bracydactyly E was also found. These disorders seemed unrelated to the chromosomal aberration.
