The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is conducting studies on isolated/non-syndromic limb malformations (syndactyly, polydactyly, split hand and foot, reduction anomalies, brachydactyly, clinodactyly, arachnodactyly, camptodactyly, etc.). They are collecting DNA samples of patients, both familial and sporadic, with isolated limb malformations.
DNA will be screened in order to discover novel mutations that lead to isolated limb malformations. If clinically significant variants are discovered, the researchers will notify the referring clinician. The research lab is not CLIA-certified, so test results must be confirmed in a CLIA-certified lab.
Please contact the principal investigator, Dr. Nadav Ahituv, for further details.

Patient Registry
-
ResearchMatch is a free national research registry designed to bring together patients, healthy volunteers and researchers. Anyone from the United States can register with ResearchMatch, and a parent, legal guardian, or caretaker may register on behalf of a volunteer. Researchers from participating institutions use the ResearchMatch database to search for patients or healthy volunteers who meet the study criteria. Many studies are looking for healthy people of all ages, while some are looking for people with specific illnesses. ResearchMatch was developed by major academic institutions across the country and is funded by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences.
