Principal components analysis of quantitative digital dermatoglyphics in a large Oxfordshire sample, subdivided into male, female, urban, and rural subsamples, suggests several distinguishable components. These appear meaningful biologically in that they resemble factors of limb growth, as suggested by evidence from disturbances in limb extremity development. The components are consistent in all four subsamples and are very similar to those identified in a large sample of Berkshire data. It is suggested that digital quantitative dermatoglyphic variation may provide an example of genetic field theory.
The oculocerebrofacial syndrome was described from siblings of both sexes in 1971 by Kaufman. A 12-year-old child with a set of corresponding malformations is described. This would suggest that the original report did not describe a "private" syndrome.
