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.
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.

Down syndrome or Down's syndrome, [12] also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21. [3] It is usually associated with developmental delays, mild to moderate intellectual disability , and characteristic physical features.

An anaphase lag of a chromosome 21 in a Down syndrome embryo leads to a fraction of euploid cells (2n cells), phenomenon described as "aneuploidy rescue". There is considerable variability in the fraction of cells with trisomy 21, both as a whole and tissue-by-tissue. This is the cause of 1–2% of the observed Down syndromes. [4]
