| 1. | A unique feature in the syndrome is symmetric brachydactyly with long thumbs.
|
| 2. | Mutations in this particular gene cause synpolydactyly and Brachydactyly.
|
| 3. | Brachydactyly is a dominant genetic trait that is characterized by shortened fingers and shortened stature.
|
| 4. | Knees have metaphyseal widening and irregularity while hands have brachydactyly ( short fingers ) and proximal metacarpal rounding.
|
| 5. | The bulk of his research was regarding a hereditary conditions that primarily afflicts the hands of individuals, entitled Brachydactyly.
|
| 6. | Deletion of GPR35 gene may be responsible for brachydactyly mental retardation syndrome and is mutated in 2q37 monosomy and 2q37 deletion syndrome.
|
| 7. | The broadness and brachydactyly of the big toes in particular may give them a stunted, rounded and stub-like appearance.
|
| 8. | Mutations in this gene can cause brachydactyly type B, a skeletal disorder characterized by hypoplasia / aplasia of distal phalanges and nails.
|
| 9. | By doing so he showed that the ratio of those with and without brachydactyly followed a pattern explained by Mendel s pattern of inheritance.
|
| 10. | However, in 2007, a 2-year-old girl was found with symptoms consistent with both brachydactyly type B and Cooks syndrome.
