A intermarried consanguineous family with split‐hand and ‐foot deformity occurring in two sibship is presented. Both the sibship resulted from marriage between first cousins. This report, together with those of Ray (1960) and Freire‐Maia (1971), further demonstrates that split‐hand and ‐foot deformity can be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
