Congenital anomalies were seen at necropsy of two neonatal tamarins. The defects included achondroplastic‐like dwarfism, Polydactyly and syndactyly in a Saguinus oedipus , and scoliosis and uterus didelphys in a S. fuscicollis. Both infants were the offspring of incestuous matings between twin siblings.
