Is a bent pinky finger hereditary?

My son has two bent pinkies, I noticed it the day he was born. Mine are not, but they are not perfectly straight either-also he is very thin so it is more noticeable. My mother says she remembers her grandmother having a bent pinky, and now wonders if it was both of them, yet hers, me and my siblings and my husband, his siblings and children don't. So, I think it is hereditary, but a common thing to have. Also of course it can be from other medical issues too. Let me know! Megan1cupcake: Yes it is hereditary. You mentioned that you pinky fingers are not perfectly straight, this could mean that you do possess the trait and thus passed it onto you son I have the same trait, but neither of my parents do. It's called Clinodactyly or "bent pinky" and it's an autosomal dominant gene. It can also be a symptom of another genetic disorder or due to a mutation. If you don't know what autosomal dominance means, these websites explain it quite well: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/228874/human-genetic-disease/242824/Autosomal-dominant-inheritance http:/www.wrongdiagnosis.com/genetics/dominant.htm And this picture might help: http:/www.gig.org.uk/images/gen-dominant.gif 3/30/2010 - Mark Pierce I have had bent pinkies on both of my hands all my life. I was raised only by my mother and never met my father. When I was 24 I had a son and he was born with bent pinkies. I then met my father for the first time and found out not only did he also have them on both hands, but both his daughters have them, and all of his daughters children have them. I now have two sons, both with bent pinkies. So the answer to your question is YES, MOST CERTAINLY it is hereditary. My pinkies are by far the worst that I have ever seen on anyone. haha


What do blue tree monitors eat?

i feed mine a mixture of cb crickets, live and frozen/thawed mouse or rat pinkies (no fur for easy digestion) cb roaches and unfertalized dove eggs. he won't eat any super worms or meal worms, that seems strange to me. in the wild they would eat most insect and aracnids, as well as small mamals and probly bird eggs. remember most monitors eat the prey item whole so keep it small. the distance between the eyes to the tip of the nose, "the food item sizing triangle" is best rule of thumb for all lizards.

What environment does pinkies need to live in?

Pinkies should be with their mother until they are weaned (about 5 weeks in rats and mice). If the mother is not available you should see if you can find another mother with young so the pinkies can survive. Maybe ask around pet stores & breeders. It is difficult for pinkies to survive without the mother's milk as it contains the nutrients they need most. I had a baby dwarf hamster I gave Kitten Milk Replacer to, was able to save him, you can get that at the pet stores, but it is not always possible to raise pinkies like this..I was fortunate with the hamster.
