Symptoms:

The severity of the deformity can vary widely from only one toe or finger being affected to an entire arm or leg missing or being severely underdeveloped. Symptoms may include:

• Abnormal gap in the face (if it goes across the face, it is called a cleft)
• All or part of an arm or leg missing (congenital amputation)
• Defect of the abdomen or chest wall (if band is located in those areas)
• Permanent band or indentation around an arm, leg, finger, or toe

Signs and tests:

The health care provider can diagnose this condition during a physical exam. The disease is usually diagnosed at birth.
