Abstract
Isolated tibial hemimelia is generally considered to occur sporadically. We report on isolated tibial hemimelia in two sibs born to phenotypically normal parents and review a similar case from the literature. These cases suggest autosomal-recessive inheritance. Whether isolated tibial hemimelia represents a discrete syndrome or an expression of a disorder with wider phenotypic variability remains unclear.Entities:
