Fibular aplasia-ectrodactyly syndrome

Fibular aplasia-ectrodactyly syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder which is characterized by aplasia/hypoplasia of the fibula, ectrodactyly, and/or brachydactyly/syndactyly. Additional symptoms include shortness of the femur and tibial/knee/hip/ankle defects. This disorder is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.[2][3][4][5][6]

Other namesBrachydactyly-ectrodactyly with fibular aplasia or hypoplasia[1]

Etiology

This disorder was first described in 2002 by Evans et al.. It was discovered that this disorder seems to have a male preference in sporadic cases, but tends to have an equal male-female preference in familial cases. Offspring have a higher chance of being born with the disorder if the mother carries the gene or is affected herself.[7]

This disorder is very rare, since only 60 cases have been recorded in medical literature.[8]
