Approximately one third of individuals born with Carpenter syndrome have a type of heart defect. Commonly seen heart defects may include: narrowing of the pulmonary artery, transposition of the major blood vessels, or the presence of an abnormally large vena cava, which delivers blood back to the heart from the head, neck, and upper limbs.
This is the rarest form of brachydactyly. It is most often part of another condition that someone is born with. Type E shortens the bones in the hands and feet along with the bottom bone in the fingers. Instead of making the fingers and toes look shorter, it makes the hands and feet look smaller. [9] Type B and E: 112440: ROR2 HOXD13: 9q22 ...
This is the most common situation, in which the extra digit is on the ulnar side of the hand, thus the side of the little finger. This can also be called postaxial polydactyly. It can manifest itself very subtly, for instance only as a nubbin on the ulnar side of the little finger, or very distinctly, as a fully developed finger.
Heart-hand syndromes are a group of rare diseases that manifest with both heart and limb deformities. [1] [2] [3] [4]As of July 2013, known heart-hand syndromes include Holt–Oram syndrome, Berk–Tabatznik syndrome, brachydactyly-long thumb syndrome, patent ductus arteriosus-bicuspid aortic valve syndrome, heart hand syndrome, Slovenian type and Heart-hand syndrome, Spanish type.
The digits at the borders of the cleft might be syndactilyzed, and one or more digits can be absent. In most types, the thumb, ring finger and little finger are the less affected parts of the hand. [7] The incidence of cleft hand varies from 1 in 90,000 to 1 in 10,000 births depending on the used classification.
Babies are often born small and have heart defects. [3] Other features include a small head, small jaw, clenched fists with overlapping fingers, and severe intellectual disability. Most cases of trisomy 18 occur due to problems during the formation of the reproductive cells or during early development. [3]

Thumb hypoplasia is a spectrum of congenital abnormalities of the thumb varying from small defects to complete absence of the thumb. [1] It can be isolated, when only the thumb is affected, and in 60% of the cases [2] it is associated with radial dysplasia [1] (or radial club, radius dysplasia, longitudinal radial deficiency).
