How the Diagnosis is Made

The condition can be diagnosed in the first trimester of pregnancy through an ultrasound scan looking for extra fingers or toes, cardiac defects, abnormalities of the kidneys and under-developed limbs. It has to be distinguished from related disorders such as Jeune Syndrome and the short-rib polydactyly syndromes. This may be possible only after birth. Radiographic features may also help with the diagnosis.
