Postaxial polydactyly type A(PAPA)

MedGen UID:
854350
Concept ID:
C3887487
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: Nonsyndromic Postaxial Polydactyly Type A
SNOMED CT: Postaxial polydactyly type A (715704001)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
141025
Concept ID:
C0441748
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).

Conditions with this feature

Heart defect - tongue hamartoma - polysyndactyly syndrome
MedGen UID:
341804
Concept ID:
C1857587
Disease or Syndrome
A rare, genetic, multiple congenital anomalies syndrome characterized by congenital heart defects (e.g. coarctation of the aorta with or without atrioventricular canal and subaortic stenosis), associated with tongue hamartomas, postaxial hand polydactyly and toe syndactyly.
Scalp defects-postaxial polydactyly syndrome
MedGen UID:
401140
Concept ID:
C1867021
Disease or Syndrome
A rare syndrome with limb malformations as a major feature characterized by congenital scalp defects and postaxial polydactyly type A. There is a wide variability of expression, with some patients showing only one of the typical manifestations. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1985.
Polydactyly, postaxial, type a10
MedGen UID:
1676955
Concept ID:
C5193129
Disease or Syndrome
Postaxial polydactyly type A10 (PAPA10) is characterized by one or more postaxial digits of the hands and/or feet. A rudimentary digit (PAP type B) may also be present. Intrafamilial variability has been observed (Ullah et al., 2019). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of postaxial polydactyly, see 174200.
