Hitchhiker's thumb, also known as distal hyperextensibility of the thumb, is the condition of having a thumb that has a distal phalange that bends backwards in an angle of 90°. This condition is benign (when isolated) and does not cause pain or affect the thumb with the trait negatively.
Hypermobile thumbs A hypermobile thumb (also called Hitchhiker's thumb). Hypermobility generally results from one or more of the following: Abnormally shaped ends of one or more bones at a joint or increased angle of the bone such as in coxa valga
It has been suggested that the variation is an autosomal recessive trait, called a hitchhiker's thumb, with homozygous carriers having an angle close to 90°. [32] However this theory has been disputed, since the variation in thumb angle is known to fall on a continuum and shows little evidence of the bi-modality seen in other recessive genetic ...
Brachydactyly type D, also known as short thumb, [3] [1] stub thumb, [5] [6] or clubbed thumb, [5] [6] is a genetic trait recognised by a thumb being relatively short and round with an accompanying wider nail bed. The distal phalanx of such thumbs is approximately two-thirds the length of full-length thumbs.

The list says Hitchhiker's thumb is a recessive Mendelian Trait. Both of my parents have it, I have it, but my sister does not. How is this possible? Should I take Hitchhiker's thumb off the list? Us441 21:58, 9 January 2010 (UTC) I think this page needs to be re-assessed.
