1 Haploinsufficiency of the HOXA Gene Cluster, in a Patient with Hand-Foot-Genital Syndrome, Velopharyngeal Insufficiency, and Persistent Patent Ductus Botalli  Koenraad Devriendt, Jaak Jaeken, Gert Matthijs, Hilde Van Esch, Philippe Debeer, Marc Gewillig, Jean-Pierre Fryns  The American Journal of Human Genetics  Volume 65, Issue 1, Pages (July 1999) DOI: /302452 Copyright © 1999 The American Society of Human Genetics Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 X-ray of the patient's left foot, at age 2 years 10 mo. The first toe is laterally deviated, with a triangular distal phalanx and shortened proximal phalanx. There is absence of calcification of the middle phalanges of toes II–V and distal phalanx of toe II.

3 Figure 2 X-ray of the patient's left hand at age 7.5 years. Note the thumb anomalies: shortened metacarpal, pointed distal phalanx, and pseudoepiphysis of the metacarpal. There is a brachymesophalanx V causing clinodactyly and associated with a pseudoepiphysis. There is shortening of the distal phalanx of finger II. Pseudoepiphyses are present at metacarpal II and V. Bone age was 4.1 years. The American Journal of Human Genetics  , DOI: ( /302452) Copyright © 1999 The American Society of Human Genetics Terms and Conditions
