“…One of our families indicates that the recurrence of a very severe form of this CRTD-entity can be diagnosed prenatally. The short femur of the alcohol (Pauli & Feldmann 1986), thalidomide (which was never used in Hungary) (Lenz 1990) or valproate (Verloes et al 1990), were not observed in this study. The vascular disruption hypothesis seems to be the most plausible explanation for their origin (Ikeda et al 1968, Poswillo 1973, Van Allen et al 1982.…”

Czeizel AE, Vitéz M, Kodaj I, Lenz W. A family study on isolated congenital radial and tibial deficiencies in Hungary, 1975–1984. Clin Genet 1993: 44: 32–36. © Munksgaard, 1993 Radial and tibial deficiencies are frequently (70%) associated with non‐limb abnormalities. Isolated radial and tibial deficiencies may have a different etiology: in this study radial deficiencies were more frequent, there were milder subtypes and one‐limb involvement was found in 70% of cases, tibial deficiencies were rare, mild subtypes did not occur and in general more limbs were involved. Among multimelic cases, one case had hypoplasia of the tibia with polydactyly and two cases had tibial aplasia with split hand \pm foot of autosomal dominant inheritance. Of 40 cases, four were familial. Findings of a case‐control study on this population‐based and validated 10‐year cohort showed a lower mean birth weight and a higher rate of low birth weight in cases with isolated radial and tibial deficiency.

“…Instead of a living history autobiography, Lenz [1990] Lenz (1887Lenz ( -1976, a professor of human genetics, was, as were many geneticists in Europe, the United States, and elsewhere, an early advocate of eugenics. Those who knew the son personally are unanimous in stating that he did not share his father's eugenic views.…”

“…Instead of a living history autobiography, Lenz [1990] submitted his Abschiedsvorlesung (final formal lecture as professor and chair of a department in the German university system) on the occasion of his retirement in 1984. The accompanying encomium by Vogel [1990] also does not give complete biographical data; hence, a brief overview of the life of Widukind Lenz seems appropriate.…”
