Description: (OMIM) The thrombocytopenia-absent radius syndrome (TAR) is characterized by reduction in the number of platelets and absence of the radius; preservation of the thumb distinguishes TAR from other syndromes that combine blood abnormalities with absence of the radius, such ...
Diagnosis OMIM Many skeletal dysplasias have been diagnosed prenatally after the birth of an affected sib. On the other hand, Donnenfeld et al. (1990) performed prenatal diagnosis in a primary (index) case of TAR syndrome. Ultrasound showed bilateral upper limb ...
Clinical Description OMIM Shaw and Oliver (1959) described sibs with absent radii and thrombocytopenia. They suggested that this disorder is distinct from Fanconi pancytopenic syndrome (227650) because there was no hypoplasia of the erythron and the blood disorder was evident in ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Given the unclear inheritance and frequently sporadic nature of TAR syndrome, Klopocki et al. (2007) searched for genomic aberrations in 30 patients with TAR syndrome and their families, using high-resolution microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (rearray CGH). They identified ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews The diagnosis of thrombocytopenia absent radius (TAR) syndrome is established by the combination of:...
Clinical Description GeneReviews Individuals with thrombocytopenia absent radius (TAR) syndrome almost always have bilateral absence of the radius. The thumbs are always present. Thumbs in TAR syndrome are of near normal size, but are somewhat wider and flatter than usual. They are also held in flexion against the palm, and tend to have limited function, particularly in terms of grasp and pinch activities [Goldfarb et al 2007]....
