A member asked:

I've got clinodactyly, or bent pinkies, could this be a symptom of something bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Clinodactyly is the most common of all birth anomalies. It often runs in families. While it is associated with many syndromes, in the vast majority of afflicted people it is simply an isolated anomaly with absolutely no ominous implications.
