Beals Syndrome


I have seen for genetic counselling a family with Beals Syndrome, congenital contractural arachnodactyly. We have stored DNA from the propositus,his parents, 4 sibs of the mother, and the maternal grandmother. In addition to the propositus,his mother and a maternal aunt showed the same symptoms.

I am interested in collaboration to study this family at the molecular level.
