Abstract excerpt
Triphalangeal thumb-polysyndactyly (TPT-PS) is an isolated limb malformation consisting of pre- and postaxial polysyndactyly of hands and feet. The only family reported so far is of Dutch origin, and the genetic mapping study localized the TPT-PS locus at chromosome region 7q36 where the isolated triphalangeal thumb (TPT) anomaly has also been mapped. It was suggested that TPT-PS is a phenotypic variation of...
