β¦ Synopsis
We report on a male infant with tetramelic mirror-image polydactyly and a de novo, balanced reciprocal translocation between 2p23.3 and 14q13. This patient suggests that a novel gene, which functions in the morphogenesis of the hands and feet along the anterior-posterior axis, may be located at 2p23.3 or 14q13. Am.
