It was first reported in 1945 by Drs. Forrest H. Adams and Clarence P. Oliver. They described a large family in which many family members had defects of the limbs, scalp and skull. An updated report of this family was published in 1991 by Drs. Chester B. Whitley and Robert J. Gorlin - during this time, the youngest family member had grown to adulthood and was using orthotics for lower limb support, but had a good quality of life with no other medical problems.
