Thumb stiffness-brachydactyly-intellectual disability syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder which is characterized by thumb ankylosis due to symphalangism, brachydactyly type A, intellectual disabilities, mild facial dysmorphia and variable levels of obesity.[2][3]
Etimology
It was discovered when Piussan et al. described a three-generation family with various affected females in 1983, these females were reported to have "mental retardation, stiff thumbs, and brachydactyly type A2". Although C. Lewis symphalangism was suspected, it was clear that these symptoms were part of a new entity. A second isolated case was reported in 1990, by Barber et al., describing stiff thumbs and developmental delay. The suspected mode of inheritance of this disorder is autosomal dominant.[4][5][6]
