In 6 generations of a family with the trismus-pseudocamptodactyly syndrome (TPS), we identified 53 affected individuals, 33 females and 23 males. Thirty-one of the 53 were personally examined, as were 77 unaffected relatives. The clinical findings are compared with those of previous reports. Severity of expression is highly variable, but reduced penetrance was not observed. We obtained blood specimens for linkage analysis on all 108 examined individuals. Linkage could be excluded for 16 polymorphic marker loci. The largest positive lod scores were for the BF and AK1 marker systems, being 0.9 and 0.6, respectively. Since BF and AK1 are on different chromosomes (6 and 9, respectively), these results do not indicate a location for the TPS gene.
