Presentation
Expression analysis of 13 candidate genes within and flanking the duplicated region shows that BTRC (present in three copies) and SUFU (present in two copies) are overexpressed in SHFM3 patients compared to controls. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinical presentation is with the absence of one or more median rays or digits creating cone-shaped clefts of the hands and/or feet. The present case of severe bilateral SHFM was presented in an 8-year-old girl in India. [joas.in]

The array result was also confirmed by FISH analysis. The duplicated region harbors only DLX5 and DLX6, which are known for their role in SHFM1. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Here we show, using two different techniques, FISH and quantitative PCR that SHFM3 is caused by a minimal 325 kb duplication containing only two genes (BTRC and POLL). [archive-ouverte.unige.ch]

The diagnosis of LV requires a full workup including a detailed history and a thorough physical examination. Due to its myriad forms, a high index of suspicion is the key to making the diagnosis. [oatext.com]

Currently there are several treatments, which can normalize the appearance of the hands, yet they will not function precisely the same way as regularly formed hands. [onlinehealthexpert.org]
Prognosis
The prognosis for the non-syndromic Ectrodactyly is very good and that of the ECC syndrome depends on the organs involved and the penetrance level. Some people with ectrodactyly use prosthetic hands to avoid the rude stares of others. [onlinehealthexpert.org]

Two types exist (typical and atypical), probably related to 2 different etiologies: typical cleft hand probably results from fusion of digits, atypical cleft is probably caused by necrosis secondary to a vascular insult. [humpath.com]

Prevention
In summary, our data show that SHFM1 has critical roles in genomic evolution as well as prevention of apoptosis in myeloma cells, and can be targeted to make myeloma cells static. [bloodjournal.org]
Treatment and Prevention Those with ectrodactyly may require special orthopedic shoes or at the least, orthotic arch supports to provide some structure for the feet. [feetfirstinc.com]
Patients with latent TB infection but no active disease may also be treated with antitubercular drugs to prevent development of active disease. See tuberculosis screening. Occasionally surgical excision of localised cutaneous TB is recommended. [dermnetnz.org]
