Abstract excerpt
Isolated hand syndactyly is a common limb malformation with limited known genetic etiology. We used exome sequencing to discover two novel variants, chr11 g.46896373C>G; p.D1403H and chr11 g.46893078G>T; p.Q1564K, in LRP4 in a child with isolated bilateral syndactyly of the third and fourth fingers. Each variant was inherited from a different parent and neither parent was affected. Variants in LRP4 have been...
