Abstract:

We report a Japanese family with Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome (GCPS), in which the grandmother, mother, and daughter were affected. They each had the same characteristics including bilateral seven toes, hypertelorism, and esotropia. Bilateral seven toes and esotropia had followed over three generations and have not previously been reported in this syndrome. The present case with bilateral seven toes and esotropia may be a new type.
