Finger creases lend a hand in Kabuki syndrome.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare syndrome associating malformations with intellectual deficiency and numerous visceral, orthopedic, endocrinological, immune and autoimmune complications. The early establishment of a diagnostic of KS leads to better care of the patients and therefore prevents complications such as perception deafness, severe complications of auto-immune diseases or obesity. However, the diagnosis of KS remains difficult because based on the appreciation of facial features combined with other highly variable features. We describe a novel sign, namely the attenuation and/or congenital absence of the IPD crease of the third and fourth fingers associated with limitation of flexion of the corresponding joints, which seems to be specific of KS and could help the clinician to diagnose KS.

Single bilateral interdigital flexion crease of the fifth finger in a phenotypically normal male
Introduction The wrist, thenar, palmar, and digital flexion creases represent skin flexion lines in the vicinity of synovial joints, where the skin is attached to the underlying fascia [1]. Digital creases ease movement of the digits without impingement by providing “folding points” in the skin analogous to the creases in a folded roadmap, and due to strong attachments to the underlying fascia,...
متن کاملFriction Ridge Skin: Morphogenesis and Overview
The friction ridge skin occurs on the palmar sides of the hands and the plantar sides of the feet of all primates, including humans. As the name implies, the skin is ridged to produce friction. The friction aids in grasping and walking. The friction ridge skin also contains numerous sweat glands, and the pore openings are located along the tops of the ridges. The friction ridge skin does not co...

Abstract Background: The pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with increased intracarpal canal pressure. Recently, palmaris longus has been introduced as an independent risk factor for the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. The purpose of this study was to assess the association of carpal tunnel syndrome with the presence of palmaris longus tendon and function...

Kabuki or Niikawa-Kuroki syndrome (KS) is a rare disorder with multiple malformations and recurrent infections, especially otitis media. This study aimed to investigate the genetic defects in Kabuki syndrome and determine if immune status is related to recurrent otitis media. Fourteen patients from 12 unrelated families were enrolled in the 9-year study period (2005-2013). All had Kabuki faces,...
