Split-hand/foot malformation (SHFM), also called as ectrodactyly. SHFM is a natural limb deformity, characterized by a deep standard split of the hand and/ or foot due to the absence of the central shafts. SHFM may happen as a separate existent or as part of a syndrome. Both forms are constantly established in association with chromosomal rearrangements resemblant to translocations or deletion. It is clinically and genetically diverse and shows substantially autosomal dominant heritage with variable expressivity and reduced penetrance. Cases presenting with SHFM features should be rigorously diagnosed, clinically examined, and submitted to pertinent cytogenetic and/ or molecular testing. We presented two months old male child and his paternal grandmother with SHFM.

Split-hand/foot malformation syndrome (SHFM) is a congenital limb malformation that is both clinically and genetically heterogeneous. Variants in WNT10B are known to cause an autosomal recessive form of SHFM. Here, we report a patient born to unrelated parents who was found to be a compound heterozygote for missense variants in WNT10B: c.

Split Hand/Foot Malformation (SHFM) is a rare congenital disorder often linked to genetic duplications that disrupt normal limb development. Here, we present a novel case of SHFM associated with a 10q24.32 microduplication, identified through prenatal diagnosis.

Split hand-foot malformation (SHFM) is a congenital limb malformation affecting primarily the central rays of the hands and/or feet, with variable expressivity, incomplete penetrance and syndromic forms. It is genetically heterogeneous, including point mutations and structural variants in different loci. Five individuals with SHFM were clinically evaluated in a Tertiary Center in Brazil: four of them presented additional, nonskeletal findings, including one individual with split foot, hand syndactyly, and ectodermal findings.

A novel approach to detecting microduplication in split hand/foot malformation type 3 at the single-cell level: SHFM as a case study.

Orphanet J Rare Dis

October 2024

The First Affiliated Hospital, Tianjian Laboratory of Advanced Biomedical Sciences, Zhengzhou University and Institute of Reproductive Health, Henan Academy of Innovations in Medical Science, Zhengzhou, China.

Background: Split hand/foot malformation (SHFM) is a congenital limb deficiency characterized by missing or shortened central digits. Several gene loci have been associated with SHFM. Identifying microduplications at the single-cell level is challenging in clinical practice, and traditional detection methods may lead to misdiagnoses in embryos and pregnant women.

October 2024

Pediatric Noninvasive Ventilation and Sleep Unit, AP-HP, Hôpital Necker Enfants Malades, 149 Rue de Sèvres, 75015, Paris, France.

Purpose: Patients with syndromic hemifacial microsomia (SHFM) are at risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aim of the study was to describe the prevalence of OSA and its management, especially in patients with Goldenhar syndrome (GS).

Methods: The respiratory polygraphies and clinical management of 15 patients, aged 2 to 23 years, evaluated at a national reference center, were analyzed.
