A member asked:
Mom had an extra digit at birth, brother had congenital disability, what are the risk factors?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: The extra digit issue is usually an autosomal dominant trait with variable presentation.It can skip a generation and theoretically 50% of the offspring would carry the gene.The disability in the brother is unrelated and more information on his disability would be needed for comment.
