Two brothers with upper limb and renal anomalies have been identified. Their upper limb abnormalities were characterized by absence and hypoplasia of various bones; their renal anomalies included crossed‐fused ectopia and vesico‐ureteral reflux. Both suffered from chronic kidney failurc secondary to reflux nephropathy. An autosomal or scx‐linked mode of inheritance seems likely.
