Pak J Med Res Jan ;54(2):61-4.

Split-hand/foot malformation (SHFM) is a multifaceted, congenital malformation of rare limb developments including deep median clefts of hands and feet, and aplasia and/or hypoplasia of the phalanges. Highly diverse in its presentation, SHFM can range from mild abnormalities of a single limb to severe defect of all four limbs and can occur as isolated (non-syndromic) or part of a complex syndrome. To date six forms of isolated SHFM harboring autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and X-linked inheritance has been reported globally. In Pakistan, only autosomal recessive and X-linked families have been reported. The review aims to systematically read and analyze various types of isolated SHFM prevalent in Pakistani population.
