Abstract :
The Holt-Oram Syndrome (HOS) is a congenital autosomal hereditary disease characterized by abnormalities of the upper limb skeleton and the heart. This syndrome was first described in 1960 by Mary Clayton Holt and Samuel Oram from the members of a family with congenital heart disease and skeletal deformities on upper extremities with autosomal dominant transmission. It includes a set of cardiac disorders and thumb aplasia or hypoplasia which may arise in variety forms. The incidence of HOS is estimated at 1:100.000 births. In the literature, this syndrome is also named as atriodigital syndrome, heart-hand syndrome, upper limb-cardiovascular syndrome, cardiac-limb syndrome or cardiomelic syndrome. Herein we present a HOS in a 12-year-old male that has multiple upper limb deformities and atrial septal defect
