Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Congenital duplication of the palm is a rare syndrome with the following features: the dorsal aspects of both hands have thick palmar skin with no hair or nails; bilateral ulnar ray deficiency; short hypoplastic upper limbs; and severe lower limb abnormalities. In this paper, we report a new case of congenital duplication of the palm syndrome, provide its gene analysis identifying the responsible gene mutation in exon 4 of the WNT7a gene, and detail the molecular basis of its clinical features.
