Limb disorders
Gene: TWIST1
Saethre-Chotzen syndrome (SCS) has a variable spectrum of manifestations and includes brachydactyly, broad toes, partial cutaneous syndactyly of digits 2 and 3 of the hand, duplicated distal phalanx of the hallux are also often present. In 37 unrelated individuals with a clinical diagnosis of SCS, 46% had an identifiable pathogenic variants PMID: 9585583. Robinow-Sorauf syndrome is characterized by facies similar to those of Saethre-Chotzen syndrome with bifid or partially duplicated halluces, and known to be caused by pathogenic variants in TWIST1 and considered part of the mild end of the phenotypic spectrum of SCS (PMID:12791045;25565733).Created: 7 Nov 2018, 1:26 p.m.
