Syndactyly type 8(MF4)

MedGen UID:
333392
Concept ID:
C1839728
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: Metacarpal 4-5 fusion; Metacarpals 4 and 5 fusion
SNOMED CT: Syndactyly type 8 (715442006); Fusion of metacarpal 4 and 5 (715442006); Syndactyly of fingers type 8 (715442006)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
141047
Concept ID:
C0443147
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.
X-linked recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
375779
Concept ID:
C1845977
Finding
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for recessive traits related to a gene encoded on the X chromosome. In the context of medical genetics, X-linked recessive disorders manifest in males (who have one copy of the X chromosome and are thus hemizygotes), but generally not in female heterozygotes who have one mutant and one normal allele.
 
Gene (location): FGF16 (Xq21.1)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0010669
OMIM®: 309630
Orphanet: ORPHA2498

Definition

A rare non-syndromic syndactyly characterized by unilateral or bilateral fusion of the 4th and 5th metacarpals with no other associated abnormalities. Patients present shortened 4th and 5th metacarpals with excessive separation between their distal ends, resulting in marked ulnar deviation of the little finger and an inability to bring the 5th finger in parallel with the other fingers. [from ORDO]
