Abstract excerpt
Split hand/foot malformation (SHFM) is syndromic ectrodactyly often associated with mental retardation and/or craniofacial defects. Several clinical reports previously described urogenital dysplasia such as micropenis, hypospadias, and small testis in SHFM patients. Genetic lesions in the Dlx5 and Dlx6 (Dlx5/6) locus are associated with the human genetic disorder SHFM type 1. Although Dlx5/6 are expressed in the...
