Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Orthopedics
  • Skeletal Dysplasias

Background:

  • Brachydactyly type C is an autosomal dominant skeletal disorder.
  • It exhibits significant variability in gene expression and clinical presentation.

Observation:

  • Limited expression shows shortening of middle phalanges and the first metacarpal.
  • Complete expression involves shortening of all metacarpals and phalanges.
  • Specific findings include brachymesophalangy, trapezoidal epiphysis, ulnar deviation, and hypersegmentation.

Findings:

  • Radiographic analysis reveals characteristic patterns of bone shortening and malformation.
  • The degree of shortening varies across metacarpals and phalanges.
  • Ulnar deviation can lead to scissoring deformities requiring intervention.

Implications:

  • Understanding these diverse hand abnormalities is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
  • Characterizing variable presentations aids in predicting disease progression.
  • Identification of surgical correction needs informs patient management and outcomes.
