Figure 1 Roentgenogram of the patient's hands. All metacarpals and the phalangeal bones are shortened. In this adult the cone-shaped epiphyses are not visible as in childhood; however, the residua identify this brachydactyly as a type E.

Figure 4 Doses of phenylephrine required to raise mean blood pressure by 12.5mm Hg in 5 members of the Turkish family (▪), 6 normal control subjects (□), and in both groups after complete ganglion blockade (“block”) with trimethaphan. Note that the discrepancy between the two groups at baseline was markedly reduced by ganglion blockade supporting failure of baroreflex blood pressure buffering in the Turkish family.
