title: Deletion of 7q22 and ectrodactyly.
abstract: We report the case of an infant with 3-limb ectrodactyly and a deletion of most of 7q22. This observation, along with 4 similar cases from the literature, suggests the presence of a locus affecting limb differentiation in 7q22 near to the proximal interface.
