Human ZRS mutations/duplications in which there is PPD-LPAD association in the phenotype.
ZRS mutations/duplications
The phenotype
(A) Point mutations
ZRS 402 C>T
Werner syndrome phenotype
ZRS 404 G>A
Either Werner phenotype or PPD-five-fingered hand-tibial hemimelia phenotype
ZRS 404 G>T
Variable phenotypes of PPD-LPAD association
ZRS 404 G>C
Triphalangeal thumbs in the hands and PPD/tibial defects in the lower limbs
ZRS 406 A>G
Werner syndrome phenotype
ZRS 417 A>G
Mirror image polydactyly in all 4 limbs and bilateral tibial defects
ZRS 619 C>T
PPD-LPAD associations confined to the upper limbs. The lower limbs are normal
(B) Duplications
Microduplications (<80 kb) reported by Lohan et al. [15]

Syndactyly type IV with concurrent tibial hypoplasia
Werner syndrome: Tibial Hypoplasia, Polysyndactyly Triphalangeal Thumb Syndrome or THPTTS, OMIM 188770; Laurin-Sandrow syndrome: mirror-image polydactyly of the hands and feet, absent tibiae, and duplication of the fibulae; OMIM 135750; Syndactyly type IV: complete syndactyly of all digits with polydactyly, OMIM 186200.
