A member asked:
I have brachymetatarsia, and i will like to know this if i have a kid, will they have the same problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: The label translated means brachy (short) metatarsia (toe bone). It can be a simple defect noted at birth or acquired from foot trauma. If present at birth it can be part of a syndrome that may or may not be spontaneous or inherited in a dominant or recessive fashion. Without knowing the specifics of your case it is hard to say. Consultation with a geneticist ( children's hospital) may sort it out
