C2749665
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: ECTRODACTYLY, AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE; Split-hand/foot malformation 6

Definition

Split-hand/split-foot malformation (SHFM) is a limb malformation involving the central rays of the autopod and presenting with syndactyly, median clefts of the hands and feet, and aplasia and/or hypoplasia of the phalanges, metacarpals, and metatarsals. Some patients with SHFM have been found to have mental retardation, ectodermal and craniofacial findings, and orofacial clefting (Elliott and Evans, 2006). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of split-hand/foot malformations, see SHFM1 (183600). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Finger syndactyly
MedGen UID:
65139
Concept ID:
C0221352
Congenital Abnormality
Webbing or fusion of the fingers, involving soft parts only or including bone structure. Bony fusions are referred to as "bony" Syndactyly if the fusion occurs in a radio-ulnar axis. Fusions of bones of the fingers in a proximo-distal axis are referred to as "Symphalangism".
Toe syndactyly
MedGen UID:
75581
Concept ID:
C0265660
Congenital Abnormality
Webbing or fusion of the toes, involving soft parts only or including bone structure. Bony fusions are referred to as "bony" Syndactyly if the fusion occurs in a radio-ulnar axis. Fusions of bones of the toes in a proximo-distal axis are referred to as "Symphalangism".
Split foot
MedGen UID:
140919
Concept ID:
C0432028
Congenital Abnormality
A condition in which middle parts of the foot (toes and metatarsals) are missing giving a cleft appearance. The severity is very variable ranging from slightly hypoplastic 3rd toe over absent 2nd or 3rd toes as far as oligo- or monodactyl feet.
Split hand
MedGen UID:
397570
Concept ID:
C2699510
Congenital Abnormality
A condition in which middle parts of the hand (fingers and metacarpals) are missing giving a cleft appearance. The severity is very variable ranging from slightly hypoplastic middle fingers over absent middle fingers as far as oligo- or monodactyl hands.
Foot oligodactyly
MedGen UID:
923973
Concept ID:
C4281601
Anatomical Abnormality
A developmental defect resulting in the presence of fewer than the normal number of toes.
Finger aplasia
MedGen UID:
1841564
Concept ID:
C5779506
Congenital Abnormality
A developmental defect resulting in the presence of fewer than the normal number of fingers (i.e., aplasia of one or more fingers).
