A previously unreported,dominantly inherited syndrome of shortness of stature,ear malformations,and hip dislocation: The coxoauricular syndrome—autosomal or X-linked male-lethal

We reported an apparently previously undescribed syndrome, designated the coxoauricular syndrome, in a mother and her 3 daughter, all of whom shared in variable manner shortness of stature, minor vertebral and pelvic changes, dislocated hip(s), and microtia with corresponding hearing loss. The oldest daughter had coincidental Ullrich-Turner syndrome with 46,Xdel(X)(q13) chromosome constitution. Inheritance of the trait in this family is dominant, either autosomal or X-linked, with hemizygote lethality.
