Polydactyly and brachymetapody in two English families.
نویسنده
چکیده
Two new pedigrees of polydactyly associated with brachymetapody are discribed. In one the two defects occur in different members of the family, while in the other both occur in the same individuals. Both anomalies appear to be inherited as dominants, the polydactyly showing incomplete manifestation.

Meckel syndrome: what are the minimum diagnostic criteria?
Two sibs are described, the first of whom presented the classic Meckel syndrome triad of encephalocele, postaxial polydactyly, and characteristic renal cystic changes. The second sib had none of these abnormalities, but did show urethral atresia and preaxial polydactyly, two features previously described in some patients with Meckel syndrome. The two cases illustrate both the wide phenotypic sp...
متن کاملPostaxial 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 (...
متن کاملToe Polydactyly in Nigerian Boy
From Biblical days, the occurrence of six toes instead of five, called polydactyly, has been known. Of late, there have been some individual case reports from USA and Italy. Moreover, a group formed from several countries has dealt competently with genetic studies of 19 preaxial polydactyly families. Therefore, we report a case from Nigeria.

متن کاملCo-occurrence of Distinct Ciliopathy Diseases in Single Families Suggests Genetic Modifiers
Disorders within the "ciliopathy" spectrum include Joubert (JS), Bardet-Biedl syndromes (BBS), and nephronophthisis (NPHP). Although mutations in single ciliopathy genes can lead to these different syndromes between families, there have been no reports of phenotypic discordance within a single family. We report on two consanguineous families with discordant ciliopathies in sibling. In Ciliopath...
