Syndactyly type 3(SDTY3)

MedGen UID:
396117
Concept ID:
C1861366
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: Ring and little finger syndactyly; SDTY3; Syndactyly of fingers four and five; SYNDACTYLY OF FINGERS IV AND V; Syndactyly of the ring and little finger; Syndactyly, Type III
SNOMED CT: Syndactyly type 3 (715725001); Syndactyly of fingers 4 and 5 (715725001)
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.
 
Gene (location): GJA1 (6q22.31)

Definition

A rare congenital distal limb malformation with complete and bilateral syndactyly between the fourth and fifth fingers. In most cases, it is a soft tissue syndactyly, but occasionally the distal phalanges may be fused. The feet are not affected. Inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. [from SNOMEDCT_US]

Clinical features

From HPO
Toe syndactyly
MedGen UID:
75581
Concept ID:
C0265660
Congenital Abnormality
Webbing or fusion of the toes, involving soft parts only or including bone structure. Bony fusions are referred to as "bony" Syndactyly if the fusion occurs in a radio-ulnar axis. Fusions of bones of the toes in a proximo-distal axis are referred to as "Symphalangism".
Short 5th finger
MedGen UID:
334269
Concept ID:
C1842878
Congenital Abnormality
Hypoplasia (congenital reduction in size) of the fifth finger, also known as the little finger.
Absent middle phalanx of 5th finger
MedGen UID:
479380
Concept ID:
C3277750
Finding
Absence of the middle phalanx of the little (5th) finger.
3-4 finger cutaneous syndactyly
MedGen UID:
868712
Concept ID:
C4023115
Congenital Abnormality
A soft tissue continuity in the A/P axis between fingers 3 and 4.
4-5 finger cutaneous syndactyly
MedGen UID:
869305
Concept ID:
C4023731
Anatomical Abnormality
A soft tissue continuity in the anteroposterior axis between the fourth (ring) to the fifth (little) finger that extends distally to at least the level of the proximal interphalangeal joints.
