Case Discussion
Complete absence of the radius and thumb. Additionally there is hypoplasia of the 2nd metacarpal and digit, and a solitary finger articulates evenly with the 3rd and 4th metacarpals. Appearance is consistent with radial ray anomaly with the additional history of a cardiac septal defect suggesting underlying Holt-Oram syndrome as the underlying genetic cause.
