The association of hypoplastic thumb and atrial septal defect, (Holt-Oram syndrome) with a prolapsed mitrial valve is described. Recognition of this association adds further support to the concept that the prolapsed mitrial valve syndrome is not necessarily an isolated cardiac disorder but may be part of a more generalized heritable disorder of connective tissue.

An Algorithm for Management of Radial Longitudinal Deficiency.
J Hand Surg Asian Pac Vol
December 2024
Department of Hand Surgery, Kasturba Medical College Manipal, Manipal Academy Of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, India.
Article Synopsis
- - The management of radial longitudinal deficiency (RLD) lacks specific guidelines, resulting in varied treatment approaches that complicate the determination of effective interventions for individual patients.
- - Approximately 40% of RLD cases are associated with syndromes like Holt-Oram, TAR, and VACTERL, making it essential for hand surgeons to recognize these conditions and their implications for treatment.
- - Surgical procedures like centralisation and radialisation are fundamental for treatment, but current methods do not fully restore normal wrist function; emerging techniques focus on improving biomechanics and considering proximal limb changes in management.

Article Synopsis
- Superoxide Dismutase 3 (SOD3) helps reduce oxidative stress in the body by converting superoxide into hydrogen peroxide, which can cause biomolecular damage when not regulated.
- This research used a large dataset (GSE2109) of 2,158 cancer samples to analyze the expression of SOD3 and its correlation with other genes, leading to the identification of genes that are both positively and negatively correlated.
- From the analysis, 12 significant disorders were linked to SOD3, revealing 35 novel genes associated with conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Renal Tubular Dysgenesis, which may help in understanding the role of oxidative stress in these diseases.

Article Synopsis
- * In a study of 387,067 births in northeastern France from 1979 to 2007, 83 cases of RRD were found, resulting in a prevalence of 2.14 per 10,000 births, and 75.9% of these cases had additional congenital anomalies.
- * The co-occurring anomalies included chromosomal disorders, syndromic conditions like VACTERL association, and multiple congenital anomalies (MCA), affecting various systems such as musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, urinary, and orofacial; a multidisciplinary approach is advised for managing such cases.
