Disease relevance of ol

  • The limb defects, oligodactyly and syndactyly, have been traced to improper differentiation of the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) and shortening of the anteroposterior limb axis [1].
  • Exposure to 400 mg/kg hydroxyurea did not affect the progeny, whereas exposure to 500 or 600 mg/kg resulted in dose-dependent increases in fetal resorptions and malformations, including curly tails, abnormal limbs (oligodactyly, hemimelia, and amelia), and short ribs [2].
  • At 2 mg/kg/day, the incidence of cleft palate, renoureteral agenesis or hypoplasia, and poly- or oligodactyly was significantly increased, whereas fetal weight was reduced at 0.5 mg/kg/day [3].
  • Malformations, such as micrognathia, hydrocephalus, short tail, oligodactyly, syndactyly, cleft lip, micromelia, and heart defects occurred, but no skeletal malformations were noted [4].

Associations of ol with chemical compounds

  • Pretreatment with OTC decreased the frequency and severity of oligodactyly induced by 5-FU, although the differences were not significant statistically [15].
  • Litters of pregnant mice treated with cyclophosphamide (CP) exhibit malformations of the limbs ranging from oligodactyly to amelia [16].
