Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:

Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.

Definition

Laurin-Sandrow syndrome (LSS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by polysyndactyly of hands and feet, mirror image duplication of feet, and nasal defects (hypoplastic alae nasi, short columella), in connection with absent patella and duplicated fibula (summary by Lohan et al., 2014). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Syndactyly
MedGen UID:
52619
•Concept ID:
C0039075
•
Congenital Abnormality
Webbing or fusion of the fingers or toes, involving soft parts only or including bone structure. Bony fusions are referred to as "bony" syndactyly if the fusion occurs in a radio-ulnar axis. Fusions of bones of the fingers or toes in a proximo-distal axis are referred to as "symphalangism".

Hand polydactyly
MedGen UID:
510636
•Concept ID:
C0158733
•
Congenital Abnormality
A kind of polydactyly characterized by the presence of a supernumerary finger or fingers.

Triphalangeal thumb
MedGen UID:
66029
•Concept ID:
C0241397
•
Congenital Abnormality
A thumb with three phalanges in a single, proximo-distal axis. Thus, this term applies if the thumb has an accessory phalanx, leading to a digit like appearance of the thumb.

Absent radius
MedGen UID:
235613
•Concept ID:
C1405984
•
Congenital Abnormality
Missing radius bone associated with congenital failure of development.

Short foot
MedGen UID:
376415
•Concept ID:
C1848673
•
Finding
A measured foot length that is more than 2 SD below the mean for a newborn of 27 - 41 weeks gestation, or foot that is less than the 3rd centile for individuals from birth to 16 years of age (objective). Alternatively, a foot that appears disproportionately short (subjective).

Broad foot
MedGen UID:
356187
•Concept ID:
C1866241
•
Finding
A foot for which the measured width is above the 95th centile for age; or, a foot that appears disproportionately wide for its length.

Patellar aplasia
MedGen UID:
401474
•Concept ID:
C1868578
•
Congenital Abnormality
Absence of the patella.
See: Feature record | Search on this feature
Fibular duplication
MedGen UID:
478372
•Concept ID:
C3276742
•
Finding
Duplication of the fibula. This may occur as a part of diplopodia (accessory tarsal or metatarsal bone). Diplopodia with double fibula is an extremely rare condition.

Absent tibia
MedGen UID:
478374
•Concept ID:
C3276744
•
Finding
Absence of the tibia.

•
Congenital Abnormality
Thinned, deficient, or excessively arched ala nasi.
