We report on a family with Klippel-Feil anomaly (KF), Sprengel anomaly, omovertebral bone, thumb abnormalities, and flexion-crease abnormalities. This combination of abnormalities does not fit into Holt-Oram syndrome, Wildervanck syndrome, oculo-auriculo-vertebral (Goldenhar) anomaly, or the VATER complex. Clinical aspects of a KF classification are discussed. The state of molecular research on KF is briefly reported. We conclude that this set of anomalies is a novel combination, probably representing pleiotropy of a single Mendelian gene.
