A family with typical marks of dysostosis cleido‐cranialis with one concordant monovular and two discordant biovular twins, is described. Various members of this family present hypoplastic shoulder blades, congenital coxal luxations and an aberrant form of the heel bone. The monovular twin and a cousin showed evident initial psychomotoric retardation.
