SYNPOLYDACTYLY (Syndactyly TypeII): Our group is studying dominant synpolydactyly (OMIM 186000), which has been mapped to chromosome 2q31. We are keen to hear of further patients (with syndactyly of 3rd/4th fingers and 4th/5th toes, and extra digit in syndactylous web), who would be willing to provide blood samples to assist us in our project to find and analyse mutations in the synpolydactyly gene.
