چکیده

We describe a family with autosomal dominant inheritance of anal anomalies, renal tract abnormalities, genital malformations, and syndactyly. These clinical manifestations do not clearly fall into any previously described syndrome. A mother and daughter had almost identical congenital malformations, short stature, and unusual facies. The proband was born with anal stenosis, a rectovaginal fistula, clitoral hypertrophy, a pelvic right kidney, and syndactyly of both feet. Her daughter had the same anal, clitoral, and foot anomalies, a solitary pelvic kidney, and no fistula. This family is likely to represent autosomal dominant inheritance of a new combination of malformations, which may overlap with the Townes-Brocks syndrome, but does not fall into a current diagnostic category.

Saethre-Chotzen syndrome (SCS) is a type of acro-cephalo-syndactyly (ACS) syndrome. ACS syndromes are a group of autosomal dominant syndromes, in which craniosynostosis is associated with acrocephaly and syndactyly. Main features characterizing SCS, also known as ACS III, are premature fusion of the coronal sutures leading to skull deformation, facial dysmorphism, syndactyly, skeletal deformity...

Syndactyly type IV/hexadactyly of feet associated with unilateral absence of the tibia.

We report on a newborn girl with syndactyly type IV, hexadactyly of feet, and right tibial hemimelia. She has 5 other relatives with identical anomalies of the hands and feet transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Syndactyly type IV is rare as is absence of the tibia. We suggest the possibility that syndactyly type IV may be a more complex entity, including lower limb malformations, and tr...

Advances in the Molecular Genetics of Non-syndromic Syndactyly

Syndactyly, webbing of adjacent digits with or without bony fusion, is one of the most common hereditary limb malformations. It occurs either as an isolated abnormality or as a component of more than 300 syndromic anomalies. There are currently nine types of phenotypically diverse nonsyndromic syndactyly. Non-syndromic syndactyly is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, although the...

Apert syndrome - clinical case.

Apert syndrome - acrocephalosyndactyly - is a rare autosomal dominant disorder representing 1:65 000 cases of living newborns. Characteristic malformations of the Apert syndrome are early craniostenosis, microviscerocranium and II-V finger syndactyly of hand and toes with proximal phalanx of the bilateral thumb "in delta". It is difficult to determine prenatal diagnosis in the second quarter, w...

Type II syndactyly or synpolydactyly.

A new family with syndactyly type II or synpolydactyly is described with 16 affected members in six generations. No other major skeletal or extraskeletal malformations were present, but the association with minor local anomalies may be a common feature. Various metacarpal or metatarsal abnormalities may be part of this type of syndactyly. The family pedigree confirms the autosomal dominant mode...
