Abstract

This is a case report of female non identical twins with bilateral absent radii and severe thrombocytopenia. Genetic studies confirmed 1q21.1 deletion. A review of literature showed TAR syndrome in 2 pairs of identical twins (reported in 1986) and one pair of non identical twins (reported in 1979).
