Clefthand Apical Defect

Ectrodactyly or split hand/foot malformation (SHFM) or cleft hand, central ray deficiency (previously called "lobster-claw malformation"). Abnormality is a deep median cleft of either the hand and/or foot due to the embryonic absence of the central rays.

Highly variable malformation (genetic heterogeneous, 5+ loci mapped) occuring in isolation or in association with other systematic anomalies including congenital heart defects.
