Upper limb mesomelic dysplasia

MedGen UID:
1811806
Concept ID:
C5574958
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: Fryns Hofkens Fabry syndrome
SNOMED CT: Mesomelic dysplasia of upper limb (1010609002)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0008620
OMIM®: 191440
Orphanet: ORPHA2497

Definition

This syndrome is an isolated upper limb mesomelic dysplasia. It has been described in four patients from two unrelated families (a man and his daughter, and a Lebanese man and his son). Patients present with ulnar hypoplasia with severe radial bowing, but normal stature. The mode of transmission is likely to be autosomal dominant with variable expressivity. [from ORDO]

Clinical features

From HPO
Ulnar deviation of the hand
MedGen UID:
66031
Concept ID:
C0241521
Finding
Divergence of the longitudinal axis of the hand at the wrist in a posterior (ulnar) direction (i.e., towards the little finger).
Hypoplasia of the radius
MedGen UID:
672334

C0685381
Congenital Abnormality
Underdevelopment of the radius.
Distal ulnar hypoplasia
MedGen UID:
371495
Concept ID:
C1833145
Finding
Underdevelopment of the distal portion of the ulna.
Radial bowing
MedGen UID:
347136
Concept ID:
C1859399
Anatomical Abnormality
A bending or abnormal curvature of the radius.
Hypoplasia of the ulna
MedGen UID:
395934
Concept ID:
C1860614
Congenital Abnormality
Underdevelopment of the ulna.
Mesomelic arm shortening
MedGen UID:
350587
Concept ID:
C1862087
Finding
Shortening of the middle parts of the arm in relation to the upper and terminal segments.
Radial dysplasia
MedGen UID:
870597
Concept ID:
C4025046
Anatomical Abnormality
Radial dysplasia, also known as radial longitudinal deficiency, includes radial clubhand and is a disfiguring, and potentially disabling, congenital limb anomaly. The entire upper limb may be involved, although the defect is most evident in the forearm and hand. Affected children suffer a variable degree of hypoplasia or absence of the preaxial skeleton and soft tissues, in particular the thumb, radius, and dorsoradial soft tissues. The hand is usually radially deviated and subluxated off the distal aspect of the ulna, the ulna may be shortened and have a bow-shaped deformity, and there is no true wrist (radiocarpal) joint in Bayne2 type-III and IV radial dysplasia.
