No. Polydactyly is purely an autosomal dominant genetic disorder and cannot be caused by any environmental stress.
polydactyly is the condition of having more than the normal number of fingers &/ toes. i suppose this could effect person's self-image. but polydactyly does not, in & of itself cause mental illness.
There is a 25% chance that the offspring will exhibit polydactyly if both parents are heterozygous for the trait.
Polydactyly can be corrected by surgical removal of the extra digit or partial digit
NoCT scans do not cause nerve damage.
Polydactyly is the term for the presence of extra fingers. Syndactyly is the term for fused fingers.
Polydactyly can be diagnosed by external observation, x ray, and fetal sonogram
Polydactyly occurs during fetal development, typically when a baby is still in the womb. It is a congenital condition where a baby is born with extra fingers or toes. Polydactyly can be detected through prenatal ultrasound screening in some cases.
Tyler Steven Hayden discovered polydactyly.
Polydactyly is typically autosomal, meaning it is not linked to the sex chromosomes. However, in some rare cases, polydactyly can be part of a sex-linked genetic disorder.
polydactyly
There is no known prevention
Polydactyly in humans can be caused by mutations in specific genes that are involved in limb development, such as the homeobox (HOX) genes. These mutations can result in extra fingers or toes being formed during embryonic development. Polydactyly can also be inherited in a Mendelian fashion, with mutations in genes like GLI3 and SHH that regulate limb patterning.
