A healthy, non-consanguineous couple had a son with complete situs inversus viscerum (including dextrocardia but without other cardiac defects), broad thumbs and big toes, postaxial polydactyly, average intelligence and length proportion of the extremities, and a normal face. The common cause of these defects may have a role in the origin of sidedness and symmetry in morphogenesis.

A novel frameshift mutation of the GLI3 gene in a family with broad thumbs with/without big toes, postaxial polydactyly and variable syndactyly of the hands/feet.

To the Editor : Mutations of the GLI3 gene lead to a wide variety of phenotypes such as Greig cephalopolysyndactyly (GCPS), Pallister–Hall syndrome (PHS), postaxial polydactyly (PAP) types A/B, and preaxial polysyndactyly (PPD) type IV (1–7). The main clinical features of these phenotypes are summarized in Table 1. The GLI3 protein may be divided into three parts (Fig. 1). The part towards the ...

Myocardial Perfusion SPECT Imaging in Dextrocardia with Situs Inversus: A Case Report

Situs inversus is an autosomal recessive disorder that causes organs in the chest and abdomen to be positioned in a mirror image from their normal position.

Isolated heptadactylia

RATIONALE Heptadactylia is a rare congenital disorder from the polydactyly family. Polydactyly is generally classified into 3 major groups: preaxial (medial ray), postaxial (lateral ray), and central polydactyly. Most common cases are related to preaxial or postaxial polydactyly. The rarity of central polydactyly can be explained in 3 ways. First, central polydactyly with duplication appearing ...

Treatment of the Mirror Foot with Central Ray Resection: Report of 2 Cases

The mirror foot is a rare congenital foot anomaly which is often associated with 6- to 8-toed polydactyly. Postaxial polydactyly is the most common form of this anomaly, while central polydactyly is seen infrequently. We report on 2 cases of the central mirror-foot anomaly. Calcaneus duplication and fibular hypoplasia were present in 1 case. We treated both patients by resecting the middle foot...
