title: Weyers' ulnar ray/oligodactyly syndrome and the association of midline malformations with ulnar ray defects.
abstract: We describe a two generation family with variable ulnar and radial ray reduction and midline craniofacial abnormalities. The features suggest a diagnosis of Weyers' ulnar ray/oligodactyly syndrome originally described in two isolated cases. Syndromes of ulnar ray reduction are briefly reviewed and the relationship between limb bud and midline development discussed.
