1.Treatment of Congenital toe Anomalies.
Journal of Korean Foot and Ankle Society 2012;16(3):148-155
There are many different type of congenital toe anomalies such as syndactyly, polydactyly which are more common, and less frequently macrodactyly and curly toe. Congenital anomaly of hand can decrease the hand function and easy to be visualized, so the early treatment of anomaly is natural and recommended. On the other hand, Congenital anomaly of foot rarely decrease the foot function and was hidden in the shoe, so treatment of anomaly was delayed frequently. However, the surgery can be needed, as the foot getting grown-up, discomfort of shoe fitting or intractable plantar keratosis due to secondary deformation of foot can occur. A distinct feature and surgical consideration was compared with congenital anomaly of hand and it should be taken into account in the treatment of adult toe anomalies.

Macrodystrophia lipomatosa (MDL) is a rare congenital non-hereditary disorder that has significant impact on patient morbidity. This study provides a comprehensive review of the natural history, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of the disorder. A literature search in PubMed was conducted to identify cases of MDL from January 1950 to 14 February 2014. After ruling out articles without information related to the management of the disorder, a summary of 32 studies was performed. An additional three cases from the authors are also presented. Based on 57 journal articles and three additional cases from the authors, around 108 cases of MDL were reviewed. Most patients were males who were admitted to a treatment clinic in the first four years of life. The lower extremities were more frequently affected, with unilateral presentation being most common. They commonly underwent a single-staged surgical procedure with follow-up periods ranging from more than one year up to 21 years. Out of 43 cases that underwent surgical procedures, 13 reported no complications, and there were seven cases of esthetic satisfaction and 15 cases of significant functional improvement. Depending on the severity of a patient's condition, the use of non-invasive diagnostic tools should be carefully considered. Surgery might be a better choice of management than observation, taking into account possible future complications in the absence of surgery and the beneficial outcomes of surgical procedures.

Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a congenital macrodactyly characterized by progressive overgrowth of all the mesenchymal elements of a digit or digits with a disproportionate increase in the fibroadipose tissue. We reported a case of macrodystrophia lipomatosa of the foot, which is a rare case, and reviewed the literatures.

OBJECTIVETo explore the genetic etiology of three families affected with split-hand/split-foot malformation (SHFM).
METHODSPeripheral venous blood samples from 21 members of pedigree 1, 2 members of pedigree 2, and 2 members of pedigree 3 were collected. PCR-Sanger sequencing, microarray chip, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), real-time PCR, and next-generation sequencing were employed to screen the mutations in the 3 families. The effect of the identified mutations on the finger (toe) abnormality were also explored.
RESULTSMicroarray and real-time PCR analysis has identified a duplication in all patients from pedigrees 1 and 3, which have spanned FKSG40, TLX1, LBX1, BTRC, POLL and FBXW4 (exons 6-9) and LBX1, BTRC, POLL and FBXW4 (exons 6-9) genes, respectively. A missense mutation of the TP63 gene, namely c.692A>G (p.Tyr231Cys), was found in two patients from pedigree 2. FISH analysis of chromosome 10 showed that the rearrangement could fita tandem duplication model. However, next-generation sequencing did not identify the breakpoint.
CONCLUSIONThe genetic etiology for three families affected with SHFM have been identified, which has provideda basis for genetic counseling and guidance for reproduction.

OBJECTIVE:
To detect potential mutation in a Chinese pedigree affected with congenital limb malformations.
METHODS:
Clinical data was collected. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of family members. The zone of polarizing activity regulatory sequence (ZRS) were amplified by PCR and subjected to direct sequencing.
RESULTS:
Among the 13 individuals in this pedigree, there were 4 PPD patients, who were characterized by varying degrees of deformity. The female patients suffered triphalangeal thumb and preaxial polydactyly, while the male patients only had preaxial polydactyly. Only one patient had foot involvement. TA heterogeneous mutations was discovered in the ZRS (105C>G) in all patients, the same mutation was not detected in 2 healthy family members.
CONCLUSION
The inheritance pattern of PPD was autosomal dominant inheritance. There was a significant variability of symptoms among family patients. The heterozygous mutation of the ZRS (105C>G) probably underlie the disease.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with split hand/foot malformation (SHFM).
METHODS:
Genomic DNA of the proband and other affected members was extracted from peripheral blood samples. Chromosomal microarray analysis was employed to detect genome-wide copy number variations (CNVs).
RESULTS:
A 400 kb microduplication was identified in the 10q24.31-q24.32 region among all affected individuals. The microduplication has involved four genes, namely LBX1, BTRC, POLL and DPCD, in addition with part of FBXW4 gene.
CONCLUSION
The 10q24.31-q24.32 microduplication has segregated with the disease phenotype in this pedigree and probably underlay the SHFM malformation in the patients.

The amniotic band syndrome is an uncommon congenital fetal abnormality, presumably due to fetal entanglement in strands of ruptured amniotic sac. The defects caused by this syndrome vary from simple limb defects to major visceral and craniofacial defects. We cared for a newborn infant with this syndrome, who showed constriction rings of the right leg and right axilla, right club foot, thoracic scoliosis, polydactyly, absence of the right thumb and aplasia cutis of the scalp. We report this case with a brief review of the literature.

Acromegaloid Facial Appearance syndrome is a very rare syndrome combining acromegaloid-like facial appearance, thickened lips and oral mucosa and acral enlargement. Progressive facial dysmorphism is characterized by a coarse facies, a long bulbous nose, high-arched eyebrows, and thickening of the lips, oral mucosa leading to exaggerated rugae and frenula, furrowed tongue and narrow palpebral fissures. We report a case of acromegaloid facial appearance syndrome in a 19-year-old male patient who presented with all the characteristic features of the syndrome along with previously unreported anomalies like dystrophic nails, postaxial polydactyly and incisal notching of teeth.

Acromegaloid facial appearance (AFA) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disease, consisting of an acromegaloid face, a bulbous nose, and narrowing of the palpaebral fissure. In 1996, Irvin first reported a case of a combination of acromegaloid facial appearance syndrome and congenital hypertrichosis, and reported this case as a new disease of acromegaloid facial appearance with generalized hypertrichosis terminalis, which is differentiated from both AFA syndrome and congenital hypertrichosis/gingival hyperplasia. We report herein the first Korean case of acromegaloid facial appearance with generalized hypertrichosis terminalis.
