Syndactyly (SDTY) is the common hereditary limb malformations depicting the fusion of certain fingers and/or toes. At least nine non-syndromic syndactylies with additional sub-types have been characterized. Most of the syndactyly types are inherited as autosomal dominant but two autosomal recessive and an X-linked recessive entity have also been described.
SDTY2 is also known as Synpolydactyly.
ZPA regulatory sequence (ZRS) is a 800 base pair sequence within intron 5 of LMBR1, which is nearly 1 megabase upstream of the SHH gene.

タイトル
Triphalangeal thumb-polysyndactyly syndrome and syndactyly type IV are caused by genomic duplications involving the long range, limb-specific SHH enhancer.
