A 45-year-old man asks whether his children could inherit his digital deformities. X-rays showed an absence of the middle and distal second, third, and fourth phalanges with tapering proximal phalanges and tapering of the distal fifth phalanx and distal first phalanx. Phenotypic and chromosomal analyses were negative for TBX5 gene mutation.
