Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers used genomic analysis, including targeted gene sequencing and bioinformatics, to identify 49 pathogenic variations, with 27 being novel; high consanguinity in the local population contributed to diverse GSD findings.
  • * The largest subgroup identified was GSDIII, with significant variations in the AGL gene; this research represents the first comprehensive study of GSDs in India, contributing to understanding the genetic landscape of these disorders.

Split hand/foot malformation (SHFM) or ectrodactyly is a rare genetic condition affecting limb development. SHFM shows clinical and genetic heterogeneity. It can present as an isolated form or in combination with additional anomalies affecting the long bones (nonsyndromic form) or other organ systems including the craniofacial, genitourinary and ectodermal structures (syndromic ectrodactyly).

Agenesis of corpus callosum (ACC) is one of the common brain abnormalities and also a common finding in children with mental disability. ACC is heterogeneous and can occur as an isolated condition or as part of a syndrome. ACC can be accurately identified by the absence of the cavum septum pallucidum and tear drop effect of the lateral ventricle after 18 weeks of pregnancy in an ultrasound scan.
