A constellation of lower-extremity features accompanies fibular hemimelia. These should be evaluated and treated when appropriate. The association of these features has led to a recent recommendation that the name postaxial hypoplasia of the lower extremity may be more appropriate and a better description of the entire pattern of abnormalities...

Focal dermal hypoplasia is an example of an X-linked inherited condition. Women have two X chromosomes, and men have an X and a Y chromosome. As with all genetic conditions it may have arisen spontaneously through mutation. I think that you are confusing gene with chromosome. The genes lie on...

Focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH) is a rare form of ectodermal dysplasia that is inherited as an X-linked dominant genetic trait. Since affected male fetuses usually do not survive early pregnancy, it is found almost exclusively in females. This disorder is characterized by skin abnormalities that develop into streaks or lines...

Disease characteristics. Cleidocranial dysplasia (designated as CCD in this GeneReview) is a skeletal dysplasia characterized by delayed closure of the cranial sutures, hypoplastic or aplastic clavicles, and multiple dental abnormalities. Manifestations may vary among individuals in the same family. The most prominent clinical findings are abnormally large, wide-open fontanels at...

Ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-cleft syndrome (EEC) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the triad of ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and facial clefting (Celli, Duijf, Hamel, et al. 1999). Other features noted in association with EEC include vesicoureteral reflux, recurrent urinary tract infections (Ramirez, Lammer, 2004), obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct (Peterson-Falzone, Hardin-Jones,...

Radial clubhand is a deficiency along the preaxial or radial side of the extremity. Although considerable forearm and hand anomalies are the classic findings, proximal deficiencies also can occur throughout the arm and shoulder girdle. This article summarizes the history of radial deficiencies, lists potential etiologies, highlights relevant pathoanatomy, discusses...

Abstract - Ninety-seven limbs, in eighty-one patients, with a diagnosis of congenital deficiency of the fibula have been reviewed. A classification was devised to distinguish the minimal hypoplasia of the fibula (Type I) from the well-known complete absence (Type II). Congenital anomalies of the femur were present in 76 per...

The thumb plays an important role in hand function. Daily tasks involving pinch, grip, grasp, and precision handling are more easily accomplished with an opposable thumb. Traumatic loss, congenital absence, or hypoplasia diminishes or eliminates the thumb's prehensile abilities and may affect overall hand function.
Attempts to restore thumb function were...
