Evaluation of qualitative methods for phenotyping brachymesophalangia-V from radiographs of children.

Objective: Brachymesophalangia-V (BMP-V), the general term for a short and broad middle phalanx of the 5th digit, presents both alone and in a large number of complex brachydactylies and developmental disorders. Past anthropological and epidemiological studies of growth and development have examined the prevalence of BMP-V because small developmental disorders may signal more complex disruptions of skeletal growth and development. Historically, however, consensus on qualitative phenotype methodology has not been established.

Brachymesophalangia-V (BMP-V), a short and broad middle phalanx of the fifth digit, is the most common of all skeletal anomalies of the hand. When this feature appears alone, it is clinically known as brachydactyly type A3 (BDA3). A high prevalence of BDA3 has been observed among the children of the Jirel ethnic group in eastern Nepal.

Congenital onychodysplasia of the index finger (COIF) is a rare condition characterized by dysplastic changes in the nail with variable phenotypic manifestations. Its prevalence is unknown. We describe three newborn patients with various clinical and radiologic expressions of this entity.

Fortschr Kieferorthop
December 1989
The frequency of minor skeletal anomalies of the hand, such as brachymesophalangia, pseudo- and cone-shaped-epiphyses, as well as shortness of the fourth metacarpal bone were investigated in almost 5000 healthy children, undergoing orthodontic treatment. In addition body length was compared to the percentile curves of Kunze. Surprisingly, only 42% of all hand films demonstrated normal morphology.
