My

My family are carriers of this condition and I lost a brother to this condition at the age of 35 due to essential hypertension related to this condition. If anyone knows any more information about the condition and its effects, please email, as I would like to start a family some day and am concerned about the risks. thank you

I would recommend seeing a genetic counselor where your brother was diagnosed. They would be best able to confirm the type of brachydactyly (as there are many varieties) and explain whether his death was (a) indirectly related to the brachydactyly and (b) how to minimize your risks. Most deaths or complications of hypertension occur after it has been present for many years and the risk can usually be reduced with treatment. My suspicion is that you will be reassured by the actual answers but asking people on websites will get no closer to real answers than this. Good luck. alteripse 23:39, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
