Ectrodactyly also known as Split hand/foot malformation is a rare limb malformation with autosomal dominant in heritance with variable penetrance, commonly known as "lobster claw hand". Usually it involves midline clefts of the hands and feet with syndactyly. We report a neonate with ectrodactyly and brief review of literature of condition.

A Rare Case of -Associated Lymphopenia Revealed by Newborn Screening Using TREC.
Int J Mol Sci
October 2024
Research Centre for Medical Genetics, 115522 Moscow, Russia.
Article Synopsis
- A male newborn was found to have low TREC values, indicating T cell lymphopenia, and genetic testing revealed a mutation linked to Ectrodactyly-Ectodermal Dysplasia-Cleft lip/palate syndrome (EEC).
- This case underscores the importance of further research on the immune system issues related to mutations in the TP63 gene, suggesting that patients with such mutations should undergo thorough immunological assessments.
Case report: Artificial thymic organoids facilitate clinical decisions for a patient with a variant and severe persistent T cell lymphopenia.
Front Immunol
October 2024
Division of Immunology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Washington and Seattle Children's Hospital, Seattle, WA, United States.
Article Synopsis
- Pathogenic variants in a specific transcription factor are linked to syndromes like EEC and AEC, and this case report presents an infant with severe T cell lymphopenia, detected during newborn screening.
- Flow cytometry revealed low levels of CD4+ and almost no CD8+ T cells, while the B and NK cell levels were normal; further genetic analysis identified a particular variant in the transcription factor.
- Using an artificial thymic organoid system, researchers found that T cell differentiation occurred, implying a thymic defect, leading to the patient receiving an allogenic cultured thymus tissue implant, which showed promising signs of T cell development after 9 months.
Maxillomandibular Fusion Along with Fusion of Dorsal Surface of the Tongue to the Hard Palate-A Case Report.
Indian J Dent Res
January 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
Rationale: This case report presents a rare combination of congenital anomalies in an otherwise healthy male infant born at 36 weeks. The infant was diagnosed with congenital maxillomandibular synechia, ectrodactyly, and ankyloglossia superior syndrome (ASS).
Patient Concerns: Inability to open the mouth completely, feeding challenges, and a cleft palate.
Lacrimal Drainage Anomalies in Goldenhar, Rubinstein-Taybi, and Ectodermal-Ectrodactyly-Clefting Syndromes.
Semin Ophthalmol
February 2025
Govindram Seksaria Institute of Dacryology, L.V. Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, India.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines anomalies in the lacrimal drainage system in children with Goldenhar syndrome, Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS), and Ectodermal-Ectrodactyly-Clefting syndrome (EECS), focusing on their management and outcomes based on a retrospective chart review from 2011 to 2023.
- - Results indicated that children with Goldenhar syndrome commonly experienced complex congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO), while those with EECS had more severe proximal drainage issues, including rare conditions like punctal agenesis and canalicular stenosis.
- - The findings suggest that a systematic assessment and treatment of the lacrimal drainage system in patients with these syndromes can lead
A newborn with ectrodactyly, tetralogy of Fallot, esophageal atresia, hypospadias and TP63 gene mutation: A new type of EEC Syndrome?
J Neonatal Perinatal Med
July 2023
Department of Life Sciences and Public Health, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS, Rome, Italy.
EEC syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disease with incomplete penetrance characterized by ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and cleft lip/palate; these manifestations can differently occur in the affected subjects and can also be associated with other anomalies, such as in the urogenital tract.We reported the case of a newborn with prenatal diagnosis of EEC type 3 associated with severe cardiac abnormalities (Tetralogy of Fallot), high esophageal atresia with fistula and penoscrotal hypospadias.
