A mother and two daughters are presented with severe short stature with disproportionately short limbs, small hands, clinodactyly, valvular heart disease and a distinctive facies with ptosis, high‐arched palate and crowded dentition. This appears to be a previously undescribed syndrome, probably inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.
