Distal limb deficiencies, micrognathia syndrome, and syndromic forms of split hand foot malformation (SHFM) are caused by chromosome 10q genomic rearrangements Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: The 10q24 chromosomal region has previously been implicated in split hand foot malformation (SHFM). SHFM3 was mapped to a large interval on chromosome 10q. The corresponding dactylaplasia mouse model was linked to the syntenic locus on chromosome 19. It was shown that the two existing Dac alleles result from MusD-insertions upstream of or within Dactylin (Fbxw4). However, all efforts to find the underlying cause for the human ...
