چکیده

Postaxial polydactyly type A was present in several members of a Sicilian family. The anomaly was probably transmitted as an autosomal recessive character. Two polydactylous subjects were also beta-thalassaemia carriers, but a linkage between the two mutant genes could be excluded. Two patients with hexadactyly had a fifth digital triradius.

Whole exome sequencing identified a novel zinc-finger gene ZNF141 associated with autosomal recessive postaxial polydactyly type A.

BACKGROUND Postaxial polydactyly (PAP) type A is characterised by well-formed functionally developed 5th digit duplication in hands and/or feet. It is genetically heterogeneous condition, inherited both in autosomal recessive and dominant manners. To date one autosomal recessive and four autosomal dominant loci have been mapped on human chromosomes. In the present study we have investigated a c...

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita distal type II associated with facial abnormality, renal abnormality, polydactyly and Hirschprung's disease.

A case of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita distal type II associated with facial abnormality, renal abnormality, postaxial poydactyly and Hirschprung's disease is described. It appears to be a new form of an autosomal recessive disorder.

Genetic heterogeneity of Meckel syndrome.

Meckel syndrome (MKS) is a lethal, autosomal recessive condition characterised by an occipital meningoencephalocele, enlarged kidneys with multicystic dysplasia, fibrotic changes of the liver in the portal area with ductal proliferation, and postaxial polydactyly. Recently, a MKS gene has been mapped to chromosome 17q21-q24 in Finnish families, with no evidence of locus heterogeneity in this po...

Postaxial polydactyly in three Indian families.

In most of the reported pedigrees on human polydactyly, the manifestation of the trait has been attributed to a single autosomal dominant gene. That this gene is not always penetrant and exhibits a great degree of variable expressibility has been stressed by various authors (listed by Gates, 1946, and McKusick, 1966). By contrast, recessive polydactyly has been described by only a few authors (...

Pseudotrisomy 13: clinical findings and genetic implications.

The combination of holoprosencephaly, postaxial polydactyly, and normal karyotype has been termed pseudotrisomy 13 syndrome. Here, we report the prenatal diagnosis of pseudotrisomy 13 in three siblings suggesting autosomal recessive inheritance of this syndrome. Clinical overlap with hydrolethalus syndrome, Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, Meckel syndrome, and Pallister-Hall syndrome is discussed.
