This study describes synpolydactyly, a genetic disorder affecting finger and toe fusion, in a family. Surgical correction of syndactyly and brachymesophalangia in the proband yielded excellent outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Orthopedics
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Syndactyly type II, also known as synpolydactyly, is a congenital limb malformation.
  • Autosomal dominant inheritance patterns are often observed in genetic limb anomalies.

Observation:

  • A multi-generational family exhibiting syndactyly type II was investigated.
  • A co-occurring brachymesophalangia of the fifth finger was noted in most affected family members.
  • Pedigree analysis confirmed an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern for these anomalies.

Findings:

  • The proband underwent surgical resection of a duplicated phalanx and separation of syndactyly.
  • The surgical intervention resulted in excellent functional and cosmetic improvements for the proband.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the genetic basis and inheritance patterns of synpolydactyly.
  • Successful surgical management demonstrates the potential for functional and aesthetic restoration in affected individuals.
  • Further research into the genetic mechanisms underlying syndactyly type II and associated brachymesophalangia is warranted.
