Trigger finger secondary to anomalous lumbrical insertion: a case report and review of the literature

Trigger finger is a relatively common clinical entity, most frequently caused by stenosing tenosynovitis. Several other conditions not related to tenosynovitis also have been described as a cause of triggering, and these have been reviewed. We present a rare anomaly of the fourth lumbrical muscle insertion as a cause of triggering of the right little finger. This was completely relieved following excision of the anomalous muscle. This rare anatomic variant should be added to the list of potential causes of trigger finger.

SSU1 encodes a plasma membrane protein with a central role in a network of proteins conferring sulfite tolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae SSU1 gene was isolated based on its ability to complement a mutation causing sensitivity to sulfite, a methionine intermediate. SSU1 encodes a deduced protein of 458 amino acids containing 9 or 10 membrane-spanning domains but has no significant similarity to other proteins in public databases. An Ssu1p-GEP fusion protein was localized to the plasma membrane. Multicopy suppression analysis, undertaken to explore relationships among genes previously implicated in sulfite metabolism, suggests a regulatory pathway in which SSU1 acts downstream of FZF1 and SSU3, which in turn act downstream of GRR1.
