Mirror polydactyly-vertebral segmentation-limb defects syndrome
(Redirected from Mirror polydactyly segmentation and limbs defects)
Mirror polydactyly-vertebral segmentation-limb defects syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder which is characterized by bilateral symmetrical (mirror) polydactyly, vertebral anomalies and diverse limb deficiencies.[1] It has been described in four un-related patients from Spain, which were brought to medical attention by a program called Spanish Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformations.[2][3]
