Abstract
Holt-Oram syndrome is a rare genetic autosomal dominant disorder which affects the preaxial radial ray of the upper limbs and septation of the heart and/or cardiac conduction. The present article describes the clinical and radiological features of Holt–Oram syndrome in a Tanzanian patient.
This case emphasises the importance of proper prenatal screening for congenital anomalies and counselling of the parents.
