[Oculodentodigital dysplasia: report of 2 familial cases].
We describe a father and his child with bilateral syndactyly of fingers IV and V and with pinched nose, hypoplastic alae nasi and thin anteverted nares. The patients also showed a small nodule on the tongue tip. Both had no ocular or dental anomalies. The clinical features of our patients resemble those of the patients described by Brueton et al. The hypothesis that the oculodentodigital dysplasia may belong to a contiguous gene spectrum could be confirmed.
