This study reports a rare case of complete syndactyly and polydactyly in an infant. This genetic condition, McKusick 18620, likely follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Developmental Biology
  • Clinical Delineation of Syndromes

Background:

  • Syndactyly and polydactyly are congenital anomalies affecting limb development.
  • Understanding the genetic basis of rare malformations is crucial for diagnosis and counseling.

Observation:

  • A 2-month-old female infant presented with complete cutaneous syndactyly of all fingers.
  • The infant also exhibited polydactyly, a condition characterized by extra digits.

Findings:

  • The described case, combined with three prior reports, suggests a distinct clinical entity designated as McKusick 18620.
  • Probable autosomal dominant inheritance is indicated for this specific syndrome.

Implications:

  • Recognition of McKusick 18620 aids in accurate diagnosis of complex limb malformations.

  • This finding contributes to the understanding of genetic heterogeneity in limb development disorders.
  • Further research into the molecular basis of this autosomal dominant condition is warranted.
