Ectrodactyly/split hand feet malformation

Indian J Hum Genet. 2009 Sep;15(3):140-2. doi: 10.4103/0971-6866.60191.

Abstract

Split-hand/split-foot malformation is a rare limb malformation with median clefts of the hands and feet and aplasia/hypoplasia of the phalanges, metacarpals and metatarsals. When present as an isolated anomaly, it is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant form. We report a case of autosomal recessive inheritance and discuss the antenatal diagnosis, genetic counseling and treatment for the malformation.

Keywords: Autosomal recessive; split-hand/split-foot malformation; syndactyly.
