Camptodactyly: occurrence in two new genetic syndromes and its relationship to other syndromes.

Growth hormone deficiency, Wormian bones, dextrocardia, brachycamptodactyly, and other midline defects

“…Camptodactyly is seen in several syndromes, as summarized elsewhere [Welch and Temtamy, 1966;Goodman et al, 1972;Gordon et al, 1969;Poznanski, 19841. Grosse [1974] reported a family with the Rabenhorst syndrome.…”

Medical Disorders with Associated Dermatoglyphic Abnormalities

“…The second syndrome described by Goodman et al (1972) consisted of camptodactyly with fibrous tissue hyperplasia and skeletal dysplasia. Unlike the first syndrome, no dermatoglyphic abnormalities were observed among the members of this family.…”

Newly recognized autosomal recessive faciothoracoskeletal syndrome

“…The disorder involves mainly the face (thin and small face), hands (camptodactyly), thorax (pectus excavatum), and spine (lumbar and sacral anomalies) ( Table 11). The overall pattern of anomalies observed in our patients is clearly distinct from those observed in the F-syndrome [Grosse et al, 19691, in the Guadalajara camptodactyly syndrome [Cantu et al, 19801, in the autosomal recessive syndrome of growth retardation, mental deficiency, ptosis, pectus excavatum, and camptodactyly [Khaldi et al, 19881, and in the Tel-Hashomer syndrome [Goodman et al, 1972;Gollop and Colletto, 1984;Pagnan et al, 1988;Toriello et al, 19901. The [Gorlin et a]., 1990;McKusick, 19901 shows no similar reported condition.…”
