    This study presents a rare heart-hand syndrome case with polydactyly, syndactyly, and complex heart defects. Accurate diagnosis is crucial to differentiate it from Holt-Oram syndrome and similar conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Genetics
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Heart-hand syndromes are a group of genetic disorders characterized by congenital heart defects and limb abnormalities.
    • These syndromes exhibit significant clinical and genetic variability, making diagnosis challenging.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of heart-hand syndrome is described, featuring preaxial polydactyly, postaxial syndactyly, parachute mitral valve, mild subaortic stenosis, and double outlet right ventricle.
    • This specific combination of limb malformations and cardiac anomalies is highly unusual.

    Findings:

    • The presented case highlights the broad spectrum of phenotypic presentations within heart-hand syndromes.
    • Detailed analysis of this unusual case aids in understanding the genetic and clinical heterogeneity of these conditions.

    Implications:

    • Distinguishing this specific heart-hand syndrome from Holt-Oram syndrome and other phenocopies is critical for appropriate patient management and genetic counseling.
    • Recognition of rare variants expands the diagnostic criteria and understanding of congenital heart and limb malformations.
