Ectrodactyly-polydactyly syndrome

What it is

Ectrodactyly-polydactyly syndrome is a rare, genetic, congenital limb malformation disorder characterized by hypoplasia or absence of central digital rays of the hands and/or feet and the presence of one or more, unilateral or bilateral, supernumerary digits on postaxial rays, ranging from hypoplastic digits devoid of osseous structures to complete duplication of a digit. Cutaneous syndactyly, symphalangism and clinodactyly have also been reported. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1982.

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.
