The classification of central polydactyly is based on the extent of duplication and involves the following three types: Type I is a central duplication, not attached to the adjacent finger by osseous or ligamentous attachments; it frequently does not include bones, joints, cartilage, or tendons.
Pentadactyly (from Greek πέντε pénte "five") is the condition of having five digits on each limb. It is traditionally believed that all living tetrapods are descended from an ancestor with a pentadactyl limb, although many species have now lost or transformed some or all of their digits by the process of evolution.
The polydactyly in these largely aquatic animals is not to be confused with polydactyly in the medical sense, i.e. it was not an anomaly in the sense it was not a congenital condition of having more than the typical number of digits for a given taxon. [1] Rather, it appears to be a result of the early evolution from a limb with a fin rather ...

Ectrodactyly-polydactyly syndrome is a very rare congenital limb malformation syndrome of genetic origin which is characterized a combination of ectrodactyly and polydactyly [1] consisting of underdeveloped/absent central rays of the hands or feet alongside postaxial polydactyly in the same limb that can range from a hypoplastic, bone-devoid extra digit to a fully developed supernumerary digit ...
Five types [4] of syndactyly have been identified in humans. The corresponding loci associated with these types and their common phenotypical expression are as follows: . type I: 2q34-q36; [5] webbing occurs between middle and ring fingers and/or second and third toes.
But something else happened as well — something much less predictable and much more surprising. Individuals around the world took up Cliteracy as a rallying cry. From college campuses in the midwest to the spray-painted remnants of the Berlin Wall, the clitoris is popping up in unexpected places. Wallace’s work has sparked a conversation.
Acheiropodia was first described in Brazil in 1929 [4] and the variations in expression (the range in severity and type of signs and symptoms experienced by patients), namely the presence or absence of digits on upper limbs or the Bohomeletz bone (a small, elongated bone located at the upper limb tips, parallel to the humerus and suggested to be what would have developed into the ulna), were ...
