Abstract

Triphalangeal thumb is an autosomal dominantly inherited form of abnormal preaxial skeletal development. In most families, however, the triphalangeal thumb phenotype coexists with a spectrum of limb deformities, including polydactyly and syndactyly. We describe two Iowa kindreds with triphalangeal thumb. In one family, with nine affected members, triphalangeal thumb was the only manifestation of limb deformity. We performed linkage analysis on both pedigrees, demonstrating a maximum LOD score of 6.23 with marker D7S559 on chromosome 7q36. This corresponds to a previous study of a candidate region of 450 kb in which data from several families with preaxial polydactyly were employed. Further analysis of the unique family with isolated triphalangeal thumb in the current study may demonstrate allelic variability of the gene involved in these disorders.

Triphalangeal thumb-polysyndactyly (TPT-PS) is an isolated limb malformation consisting of pre-and postaxial polysyndactyly of hands and feet. The only family reported so far is of Dutch origin, and the genetic mapping study localized the TPT-PS locus at chromosome region 7q36 where the isolated tri

## Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) is the most common form of hereditary hearing impairment (HHI). To date, 16 different loci have been reported, making ARNSHL an extremely heterogeneous disorder. One of these loci, DFNB4, was mapped to a 5-cM interval of 7q31 in a large Midd

Uterine leiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle tumor of the myometrium and is the most commonly encountered neoplasm in women of reproductive age. As for most benign tumors, the pathogenesis of leiomyoma remains obscure, especially at the molecular genetic level. The purpose of this study was to perfor
