Autosomal recessive amelia is characterized by the absence of the upper limbs and severe underdevelopment of the lower limbs. Minor facial abnormalities (depressed nasal root, upturned nose, infra-orb...
Comprehensive, easy-to-understand information about this condition
How we create this content →The documentation on autosomal recessive amelia is limited due to its extreme rarity, which hinders systematic clinical studies. Additionally, the genetic basis was only recently identified, and ongoing clinical characterization is necessary to fully understand the condition. This means that many aspects of the syndrome remain poorly documented, which can be frustrating for those affected.
To navigate your care for autosomal recessive amelia, consider seeking a geneticist or a specialist in congenital limb disorders. Genetic counseling may be beneficial to understand the implications of the TBX4 gene variants for you and your family. While there are currently no identified patient organizations, resources such as the Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center (GARD) at rarediseases.info.nih.gov can provide valuable information and support. Additionally, inquire about any opportunities for participation in natural history studies or registries that may arise as research progresses.
