Summary
Tel Hashomer camptodactyly syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, was detailed in Russian literature for the first time. This study describes its key features and suggests an autosomal-recessive inheritance pattern in affected siblings.
Area of Science:
- Medical Genetics
- Clinical Dysmorphology
Background:
- Tel Hashomer camptodactyly syndrome is a rare congenital disorder.
- First description in Russian literature provides new insights.
Observation:
- Two siblings presented with camptodactyly (finger flexion) and absent phalangeal flexion creases.
- Characteristic facial anomalies included asymmetry, hypertelorism, antimongolian slant, and a prominent nasal bridge.
- Diffuse skeletal muscle hypoplasia, humeroradial muscle aplasia, and bilateral talipes (clubfoot) were also noted.
Findings:
- The observed phenotype aligns with previously reported cases of Tel Hashomer camptodactyly syndrome.
- The family's presentation suggests an autosomal-recessive mode of inheritance for this syndrome.
Implications:
- This report expands the geographic and linguistic documentation of Tel Hashomer camptodactyly syndrome.
- Understanding the inheritance pattern aids in genetic counseling and future research.
- Highlights the importance of recognizing syndromic features for accurate diagnosis.
