Intrigued by this affliction, Dr. William Maples sought and received permission to personally examine the bones, held at the Royal London College of Medicine Museum. Using superimposition, a technique consisting of layering images on top of one another, Dr. Maples was able to distinguish between bone-related deformities and soft tissue deformities. Ultimately Maples and fellow physicians concluded that the most likely cause of Joseph Merrick’s deformities was Proteus Syndrome.
