Brachydactyly type C

Haws-type brachydactyly is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations of the GDF5 gene. Characteristic is a shortage of proximal and middle phalanges with sometimes hypersegmentation. The ring finger is often less affected and pjojects beyond all other fingers. Sometimes patients exhibit a short stature and some other skeletal abnormalities.
