" /> Brachydactyly, type a1 - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Brachydactyly, type a1;

Symbol : BDA1;

CISMeF acronym : BDA1;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Farabee-type brachydactyly; Short stature with nonspecific skeletal abnormalities 2; SNSK2;

Description : In the classification of the brachydactylies, the analysis by Bell (1951) proved highly useful. The type A brachydactylies of Bell have the shortening confined mainly to the middle phalanges. In the A1 type, the middle phalanges of all the digits are rudimentary or fused with the terminal phalanges. The proximal phalanges of the thumbs and big toes are short. - Genetic Heterogeneity of Brachydactyly Type A1 Another locus for this phenotype, designated BDA1B (607004), has been mapped to chromosome 5. A third form of BDA1, BDA1C (615072), is caused by mutation in the GDF5 gene (601146) on chromosome 20q11.;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutations in the Indian hedgehog gene (IHH, 600726.0001);

Prefixed ID : #112500;
