Polydactyly is a genetic condition characterized by the presence of extra fingers or toes. I learned that it can occur in various forms, from a small nub to a fully functional digit, and it can be associated with other genetic syndromes or occur in isolation. Interestingly, polydactyly is often inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning only one copy of the mutated gene from a parent can lead to the condition in offspring. Understanding polydactyly highlights the complexity of human genetics and the variability of physical traits.
