Abstract excerpt
Synpolydactyly (SPD) is a heterogeneous distal-limb malformation syndrome, characterized by webbing and duplication of adjacent digits. SPD1, the most common type, is attributed to disease-causing variants in HOXD13, a transcription factor in the HOXD cluster that is essential for limb development. Here, we present a challenging exome-negative case of familial SPD. The case was resolved using long-read genome...
