Independence of brachymesophalangia-5 from brachymesophalangia-5 with cone mid-5

Analysis of hand radiographs of juvenile siblings of juvenile propositi indicates that brachymesophalangia-5 alone (without cones) is separately inherited without apparent sex bias while brachymesophalangia-5 with the cone-epiphysis of mid-5 and the cone-epiphysis of mid-5 alone are both apparently inherited as a complex and with a marked excess of females over males.
