Description Salt Lake City-Researchers at the Eccles Institute of Human Genetics have identified the location of a gene associated with birth defects of the upper and lower limbs. Children born with the disorder may have limited movement of their hands and feet resulting in deformities like clubfoot, rocker bottom feet, and an inability to completely extend their fingers. An affected individual may also have short stature, a cleft palate, and difficulty opening his or her mouth.
