Brachydactyly type A7

What it is

A rare dysostosis with brachydactyly characterized by variable combinations of features of brachydactyly types A2 (such as delta-shaped middle phalanx of the second finger or toe) and D (short, broad distal phalanx of the thumb) and other types of brachydactyly (symphalangism), as well as unique features (dislocatable thumbs, lateral deviation of second toes with elevation of first toes). There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1989.

Key facts

Classified as

Malformation syndrome

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

Signs and symptoms

These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.
