Introduction:Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) is an uncommon autosomal dominant disorder defined by congenital cardiac defects, some anatomical deformities in the upper limb and conduction abnormalities. Sequence alteration of TBX5 gene located on chromosome 12 has associated with HOS.Case report:We present the case of a 26-year-old female with known upper limb alteration and ventricular septal defect who later in life developed Crohn’s disease.Conclusion:To the best of our knowledge association of Holt-Oram syndrome with Crohn’s disease has not been reported in literature before. Therefore, a possible genetic connection between Holt-Oram syndrome and Crohn’s disease remains to be determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
