Can you tell me in humans, clinodactyly (bent little finger) is inherited would be affected with and show clinodactyly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clinodactyly: means cooked finger in greek, (dactylos:finger) it runs in families but is not purely genetic, may vary in generations andean be associated with genetic syndromes (illness that r uncommon but that a pediatrician would pick up on) Typically the little figer distal joint is bent in a bit but no problem results no treatment is needed. It just a minor cosmetic variance
