Abstract
The triphalangeal thumb poses a complex reconstructive challenge to the congenital hand surgeon due to its rarity and variable anatomy. We discuss the available evidence, reporting clinical characteristics and outcomes of surgical reconstructive procedures of triphalangeal thumb alongside a representative case. The congenital hand surgeon must approach each patient with triphalangeal thumb individually to optimize the use of available tissues to maximize functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Abstract
We present a large, ten-generation family of 273 individuals with 84 people having preaxial polydactyly/triphalangeal thumb due to a pathogenic variant in the zone of polarizing activity regulatory sequence (ZRS) within the exon 5 of LMBR1. The causative change maps to position 396 of the ZRS, located at position c.423 + 4909C > T (chr7:156791480; hg38; LMBR1 ENST00000353442.10; rs606231153 NG_009240.2) in the intron 5 of LMBR1. The first affected individual with the disorder was traced back to mid-1700, when some settlers and workers established in Cervera de Buitrago, a small village about 82 km North to Madrid. Clinical and radiological studies of most of the affected members have been performed for 42 years (follow-up of the family by LFGA). Molecular studies have confirmed a pathogenic variant in the ZRS that segregates in this family. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest family with preaxial polydactyly/triphalangeal thumb reported so far.

[PMID: 35652055 PMCID: PMC9149355 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.797978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Preaxial polydactyly (PPD) is a common congenital abnormality with an incidence of 0.8-1.4% in Asians, characterized by the presence of extra digit(s) on the preaxial side of the hand or foot. PPD is genetically classified into four subtypes, PPD type I-IV. Variants in six genes/loci [including GLI family zinc finger 3 (GLI3), ZPA regulatory sequence (ZRS), and pre-ZRS region] have been identified in PPD cases. Among these loci, ZRS is, perhaps, the most special and well known, but most articles only reported one or a few cases. There is a lack of reports on the ZRS-variant frequency in patients with PPD. In this study, we recruited 167 sporadic or familial cases (including 154 sporadic patients and 13 families) with PPD from Central-South China and identified four ZRS variants in four patients (2.40%, 4/167), including two novel variants (ZRS131A > T/chr7:g.156584439A > T and ZRS474C > G/chr7:g.156584096C > G) and two known variants (ZRS428T > A/chr7:g.156584142T > A and ZRS619C > T/chr7:g.156583951C > T). ZRS131A > T and ZRS428T > A were detected in PPD I cases and ZRS474C > G and ZRS619C > T combinedly acted to cause PPD II. The detectable rate of ZRS variants in PPD I was 1.60% (2/125), while PPD II was significantly higher (9.52%, 2/21). Three bilateral PPD cases harbored ZRS variants (13.64%, 3/22), suggesting that bilateral PPD was more possibly caused by genetic etiologies. This study identified two novel ZRS variants, further confirmed the association between ZRS and PPD I and reported a rare PPD II case resulted from the compound heterozygote of ZRS. This investigation preliminarily evaluated a ZRS variants rate in patients with PPD and described the general picture of PPD in Central-South China.

World J Clin Cases 2021; 9:6832-6838. [PMID: 34447832 PMCID: PMC8362503 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v9.i23.6832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2021] [Revised: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 06/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Triphalangeal thumb-polysyndactyly syndrome (TPT-PS) is a rare type of congenital limb deformity, and most studies focus on the genetics. Case reports of the sonographic characteristics of TPT-PS during pregnancy are rare.
CASE SUMMARY A 30-year-old woman (G3P1) who had pregnancies with TPT-PS fetuses is presented. The possibility of TPT-PS was shown by ultrasound performed at the 19th wk of pregnancy, featuring hands with six metacarpals, an extra digit at the 5th finger side, and an abnormally widened thumb. Whole-exome sequencing was subsequently conducted. The results showed that exons 1-17 of the LMBR1 gene had a heterozygous duplication, with a length of approximately 253 kb.
CONCLUSION We suggest prenatal ultrasound examination combined with genetic testing to diagnose TPT-PS accurately and to help clinicians and patients make decisions.
