A lobster claw abnormality in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus).
A congenital abnormality of the digits, similar to the 'lobster claw' deformity of humans, was observed in 8 common marmosets. The condition varied in severity and in effect on the animals; it appeared to be due to a single autosomal recessive trait.
