Index finger abnormalities in Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome

Ruth Day et al. Clin Dysmorphol. 2005 Jan.

Abstract

Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS) is an X linked recessive overgrowth disorder in which digital abnormalities are a well-described aspect of the phenotype. We report a case with marked index finger hypoplasia and a congenital abnormality of the proximal phalanx and review the literature detailing index finger abnormalities in this condition.
