The metacarpophalangeal pattern profile (MCPP) was analyzed on 16 Sotos syndrome patients. A mean Sotos syndrome profile was produced. Correlation studies confirm clinical homogeneity of Sotos syndrome individuals. Discriminant analysis of Sotos syndrome patients and normal individuals produces a function of two MCPP variables and age, which may provide a useful tool for diagnosis.
