Tibial hemimelia-polysyndactyly-triphalangeal thumb syndrome
(Redirected from Hypoplasia of the tibia with polydactyly)
Tibial hemimelia-polysyndactyly-triphalangeal thumb syndrome is a rare genetic limb malformation syndrome which is characterized by thumb triphalangy, polysyndactyly of the hand and foot, and hypoplasia/aplasia of the tibia bone. Additional features include short stature, radio-ulnar synostosis, ectrodactyly and abnormalities of the carpals and metatarsals.[1][2] Only 19 affected families worldwide have been recorded in medical literature.[3] It is associated with a heterozygous base pair substitution of A to G in position 404–406, located on intron 5 in the LMBR1 gene.[4]
