Fuhrmann syndrome is a rare non-lethal genetic limb malformation syndrome characterized by ^1,2:

hypoplasia of pelvis
bowing of femur bone
polydactyly
hypoplastic fibula
symmetrical fingernail deficiency ⁴
tooth anomalies ⁵
malformed thumbs ⁸

It is a syndrome in which there is a partial loss of the WNT7A gene identified ^1,3.

Differential diagnosis

Fatco syndrome
Al-Awadi-Raas-Rothschild syndrome is a more severe form of Fuhrmann syndrome in which there is a complete loss of the WNT7A gene reported
