Syndactyly with Larsen's syndrome.

W D Engber

    The Journal of Hand Surgery
    |March 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Syndactyly, a condition of fused fingers or toes, is associated with Larsen syndrome. This report revises the list of syndromes linked to syndactyly for better clinical understanding.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Genetics
    • Developmental Biology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Syndactyly is a congenital anomaly characterized by the fusion of digits.
    • Larsen syndrome is a rare genetic disorder affecting connective tissues, primarily in joints and bones.
    • Understanding the spectrum of conditions associated with syndactyly is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • This study reports a specific association between syndactyly and Larsen syndrome.
    • The presence of syndactyly in patients with Larsen syndrome is highlighted.
    • This observation contributes to the phenotypic variability of Larsen syndrome.

    Findings:

    • A confirmed association between syndactyly and Larsen syndrome is presented.
    • A revised and updated list of syndromes associated with syndactyly is provided.
    • This facilitates a more comprehensive differential diagnosis for syndactyly.

    Implications:

    • Improved diagnostic accuracy for syndromic forms of syndactyly.
    • Enhanced understanding of the genetic and developmental pathways involved in both conditions.
    • Guidance for clinicians in evaluating patients with syndactyly and suspected genetic syndromes.
