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 ...
Clinodactyly is an autosomal dominant trait that has variable expressiveness and incomplete penetrance. [citation needed] Clinodactyly can be passed through inheritance and presents as either an isolated anomaly or a component manifestation of a genetic syndrome. [2] Many syndromes are associated with clinodactyly, including those listed below.
Clinodactyly is a medical term describing the curvature of a digit (a finger or toe) in the plane of the palm, most commonly the fifth finger (the "little finger") towards the adjacent fourth finger (the "ring finger").
Tel Hashomer camptodactyly syndrome is a rare genetic disorder which is characterized by camptodactyly,( a condition where one or more fingers or toes are permanently bent), facial dysmorphisms, and fingerprint, skeletal and muscular abnormalities. [2] [3] This disorder is thought to be inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. [4]
Congenital trigger thumb is a trigger thumb in infants and young children. Triggering, clicking or snapping is observed by flexion or extension of the interphalangeal joint (IPJ).
Dysmorphic features can vary from isolated, mild anomalies such as clinodactyly or synophrys to severe congenital anomalies, such as heart defects and holoprosencephaly. In some cases, dysmorphic features are part of a larger clinical picture, sometimes known as a sequence, syndrome or association. [2]
The good news for the milkvetch plant is that they usually need wildfire to sprout — meaning dormant seeds now have a massive new habitat for a new crop of the rare shrub.
The appearance can differ widely; the thumb can be a longer thumb, it can be deviated in the radio-ulnar plane (clinodactyly), or thumb strength can be diminished. In the case of a five-fingered hand it has a finger-like appearance, with the position in the plane of the four fingers, thenar muscle deficiency, and additional length.
