A number of mutations of the LMBR1 gene, in dogs, humans, and mice, can cause polydactyly. [80] A 2014 report indicated that mice could also exhibit polydactyly arising from mutation in the VPS25 gene. [81] In cattle, it appears to be polygenic with a dominant gene at one locus and a homozygous recessive at another. [75]
Bernstein and Burks (1942) [2] suggested that 5 allelic genes, A-0 to A-4, 'control the inheritance and distribution of middigital hair involving but a single gene substitution (the subscript denoting the number of fingers affected with middigital hair),' and that the genes for the presence of hair are dominant over the genes for its absence.

One of the polydactyl cats at the Ernest Hemingway House in Key West, Florida.This particular cat has seven (two extra) toes on each paw. A polydactyl cat is a cat with a congenital physical anomaly called polydactyly (also known as polydactylism or hyperdactyly), which causes the cat to be born with more than the usual number of toes on one or more of its paws.
Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Finger with syndactyly of many digits caused by Greig cephalopolysyndactyly. Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome is a chromosomal condition related to chromosome 7. Mutations in the GLI3 gene cause Greig
Camptodactyly is a medical condition that causes one or more digits (fingers or toes) to be permanently bent. It involves fixed flexion deformity of the proximal interphalangeal joints. Camptodactyly can be caused by a genetic disorder. In that case, it is an autosomal dominant trait that is known for its incomplete genetic expressivity. This ...
Brachydactyly (from Greek βραχύς (brachus) 'short' and δάκτυλος (daktulos) 'finger') is a medical term denoting the presence of abnormally short digits (fingers or toes) at birth. The shortness is relative to the length of other long bones and other parts of the body. Brachydactyly is an inherited, dominant trait.
“For over 100 million years when dinosaurs were the dominant predators, mammals were generally small, nocturnal, and short-lived.” The pressure to stay alive eliminated the genes needed for ...
Carpenter syndrome has been associated with mutations in the RAB23 gene, [7] which is located on chromosome 6 in humans. Additionally, three key SNPs in the MEGF8 gene, [ 8 ] located on chromosome 19 at 19q13.2, have been identified as primary causes of Carpenter syndrome.
