Abstract

Two unrelated patients are described with congenital short‐limbed dwarfism, lax joints, occasional dislocations, and developmental delay (especially in language). Although these patients have some features of the Larsen syndrome, they appear to be distinct and resemble one previously reported sporadic patient, also thought to be distinct from Larsen syndrome.
