The hand deformities of 10 patients with brachydactyly type C are presented to characterize the hand abnormalities in the syndrome and its variable presentation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The patient did not present with other malformations or complains requiring any further evaluation. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

Orpha Number: 93397 Disease definition Brachydactyly type A7 (Smorgasbord type) is a form of brachydactyly that presents with the characteristic features of brachydactyly type A2 (shortening of the middle phalanges of the index finger and, sometimes, [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Different types of brachydactyly Treatment In many cases, brachydactyly doesn't cause any significant problem for the person who has a short finger or toe, so there may really be no need for any treatment whatsoever. [study.com]

Concerning her cosmetic complaints, options for surgical treatment were discussed. It was decided to treat only the nasal deformity by open rhinoplasty, leaving the nail deformities undisturbed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment Treatment Options: No treatment has been reported. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

The treatment of brachydactyly varies with the extent of involvement and status of the other digits. Mild digital shortening requires no treatment, as it has little effect on hand function. [78stepshealth.us]

If brachydactyly forms part of a syndromic entity, prognosis often depends on the nature of the associated anomalies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Isolated BD generally has an excellent prognosis. When BD is associated with other health problems or is part of another condition, the overall prognosis depends upon the nature of the associated condition. [encyclopedia.com]

What is the prognosis? If the malformation of the digits is not severe, then hand and foot function will be normal. Function can be severely affected with more pronounced cases of brachydactyly. [bodyandhealth.canada.com]

Presently, several etiologies were considered for the development of TTS, the most accredited ones suggest that stress, adrenoreceptor hyperactivity and estrogens are the most important causes of transient morphofunctional alterations of left ventricle [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hand Malformations Hand and finger malformations represent a challenging area of clinical genetics from the standpoint of understanding the classification as well as in understanding the genetic etiologies, which are often due to single gene mutations [peds.ufl.edu]

Etiology unknown manifests at gestational week 6-8 Genetics depends on the specific type of brachydactyly Defects in: Bone Morphogenic Protein (BMP), Indian Hedgehog (IHH), and HOX have been identified Incidence in general it is rare however in types [posna.org]

Etiology BDE may be due to mutations in the PTHLH gene (12p12.1-p11.2) or HOXD13 (2q31-q32). Antenatal diagnosis It is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with variable expressivity. [orpha.net]

Epidemiology It has been reported in one family. Last updated: 7/10/2008 [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Epidemiology A very rare digital malformation. No epidemiologic studies available. Reported pedigrees are summarized in OMIM [ 4 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The anomalies are organized by anatomical system and presented in a consistent manner, including details of the clinical presentation, epidemiology, embryology, treatment and prevention for each anomaly. [books.google.com]

Summary Epidemiology BDE is very rare. Clinical description Occasionally, the metatarsals are also short. Hyperextensibility of the hand joints is a striking feature. Axial triradius may occur. [orpha.net]

Pathophysiology The specific pathophysiologic mechanism of digital clubbing remains unknown. Many theories have been proposed, yet none have received widespread acceptance as a comprehensive explanation for the phenomenon of digital clubbing. [emedicine.medscape.com]
