✦ 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), 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

We report seemingly unique craniofacial malformations and deglutition dysfunction in a sib pair. The boy had right maxillomandibular alveolar synechae, ankylosis of right temporomandibular joint, hypoplasia of the zygomatico-maxillary region, nasal deviation to the left, choanal stenosis, and exopht
