  • Notes 



    • Albert had 'frozen' wrists. Non-rotation of both his forearms. This is a condition developed in the foetus is known as Holt -Oram Syndrome.

      Holt–Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder that affects bones in the arms and hands (the upper limbs) and may also cause heart problems. The syndrome includes an absent radial bone in the arms, an atrial septal defect, and a first degree heart block.[1

      Holt–Oram syndrome is considered an autosomal dominant disorder. This means the defective gene is located on an autosome, and only one copy of the gene, inherited from a parent who has the disorder, is sufficient to cause the disorder.

      Other cases of Holt–Oram syndrome are sporadic, and result from new mutations in the TBX5 gene that occur in people with no history of the disorder in their family. Holt–Oram syndrome is estimated to affect 1 in 100,000 individuals.

      In some cases, Holt-Oram has a multiplier effect when passed on generation to generation. An affected child of an affected parent will likely face greater challenges than the parent did. In rare cases, some carriers are unable to reproduce at all due to the severity of the condition.
