Remarkable Case of Heredity Across Generations
Dr. Oretup notes a hereditary anomaly described in the London Times concerning the Shrensbury lineage. A first lord and his descendants exhibit a rare finger and toe malformation with multiple joints absent or fused. The condition persisted across at least four generations since the 15th century, with exhumation of the first lord confirming similar fingers.
