Congenital limb and hand anomalies
Congenital limb and hand anomalies is a research topic within Developmental Biology. Science Explorer counts 10k research works in it since 1950. 7.5% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on genetic and developmental studies of congenital limb anomalies, including polydactyly, syndactyly, and other malformations. It explores the genetic heterogeneity, mutations in CBP and EP300 genes, disruptions in Shh regulatory elements, upper extremity development, embryology, various classification systems, and epidemiological aspects related to limb anomalies.
