Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and genetic studies on 12 preaxial polydactyly families and refinement of the localisation of the gene responsible to a 1.9 cM region on chromosome 7q36

TL;DR: Combining the results with other studies suggests that all non-syndromic preaxial polydactylies associated with triphalangism of the thumb are caused by a single genetic locus, but that there is genetic heterogeneity forPreaxialpolydactyly associated with duplications of biphalangeal thumbs.
Journal ArticleDOI
A physical and transcriptional map of the preaxial polydactyly locus on chromosome 7q36.
Henk C. Heus,Anne Hing,Marijke J. van Baren,Marijke Joosse,Guido J. Breedveld,J. C. Wang,Andrea K. Burgess,Helen Donnis-Keller,Cathleen Berglund,J. Zguricas,Stephen W. Scherer,Johanna M. Rommens,Ben A. Oostra,Peter Heutink +13 more
TL;DR: A detailed physical map of the preaxial polydactyly candidate region is constructed and the homeobox gene HLXB9, a putative receptor C7orf2, and two transcripts of unknown function map in the refined candidate region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetics of limb development and congenital hand malformations
TL;DR: An overview of the genetic factors involved in limb development, followed by summarized discoveries in the genetics of human congenital hand malformations are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemimelic extra toes and Hammer toe are distinct mutations that show a genetic interaction.

TL;DR: The striking similarity between human and mouse phenotypes and the syntenic chromosomal location suggest that the mouseHmandHx mutations are equivalent to the human CPS and PPD mutations.
