title: Spondylocostal dysostosis: dominant type.
abstract: We report on a father and daughter who have spondylocostal dysostosis. The girl's ribs are more severely abnormal than those of the 2 previously reported cases of dominant spondylocostal dysostosis and are rather suggestive of the autosomal recessive type. The differential diagnosis of both forms is discussed.
