Polydactyly: A Rare Genetic Condition
Jan 11, 2025 4:02 AM

Polydactyly is a rare genetic condition characterized by extra fingers or toes. This condition can occur on either the hands or feet and, in some cases, both.

The condition is usually diagnosed at birth, and treatment may involve surgical removal of the extra digits.
