β¦ Synopsis
Ectrodactyly has not previously been reported in children with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS). Based on this premise and the identification of an unbalanced translocation between chromosomes 4p15 and 10q25 in a fetus with ectrodactyly and hemimelia, a second locus for dominantly inherited split hand/foot malformation (SHFM3) was mapped to chromosome 10q24-q25. We present the clinical findings of an infant with WHS and SHFM and suggest that the presence of additional loci on 4p which modify/cause SHFM cannot be excluded.

Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is a well-known malformation syndrome due to microdeletion of the short arm of chromosome 4 (4pβ«.)Χβ¬ Almost 120 cases have been reported so far, yet there is still limited information on its natural history. It is generally thought that these children have severe devel
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS), a multiple congenital malformation syndrome, and Pitt-Rogers-Danks syndrome (PRDS), a rare condition with similar anomalies, were previously thought to be clinically distinct conditions. While WHS has long been associated with deletions near the terminus of 4p, severa
