What is Limb-Mammary Syndrome?

Limb-mammary syndrome (LMS) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder belonging to the group of ectodermal dysplasias. It is caused by mutations in the TP63 gene and features severe limb anomalies, such as deficiencies, duplications, or fusion/separation defects in the hands and feet (ectrodactyly), along with hypoplasia or aplasia of the mammary glands and nipples. Other variable symptoms may include nail dysplasia, dental anomalies, hypohidrosis (reduced sweating), lacrimal duct atresia, and occasionally cleft lip/palate. The condition shows high variability in expression, even within families, and overlaps with related syndromes like EEC syndrome or ADULT syndrome.

Due to its rarity, treatment focuses on managing symptoms through surgeries for limb and mammary defects, supportive care for ectodermal issues, and diagnostic tools like imaging for associated complications.
