  • Title: An Indian family with postaxial polydactyly in four generations.
    Author: Kucheria K, Kenue RK, Taneja N.
    Journal: Clin Genet; 1981 Jul; 20(1):36-9. PubMed ID: 7296946.
    Abstract:
    An Indian family was observed with postaxial polycactyly in four generations. Of the twelve affected cases, eleven were male and one was female. The affected males showed postaxial polydactyly Type A in both hands and feet. The affected female showed polysyndactyly and both Types A and B postaxial polydactyly. Study of this family strongly suggests a common causal factor for postaxial polydactyly Types A and B and polysyndactyly. The observations also support an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance and a high degree of genetic heterogeneity in ths malformation.
