In other species: rock pigeon , chicken , turkey , dog , domestic cat , horse , pig , Arabian camel , guanaco , llama , Western roe deer , goat , sheep , domestic guinea pig , alpaca , springbok

Categories: Limbs / fins / digit / tail phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s)s (MIM numbers): 174500 (trait) , 605522 (gene) , 188740 (trait)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: no

Mode of inheritance: Multifactorial

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: Often called preaxial polydactyly (PPD)

Inheritance: As summarised by Johnson et al. (1981), there was no consensus on the mode of inheritance of polydactyly in cattle in previously published reports. In an attempt to clarify the situation, these authors conducted a series of breeding trials in Simmental cattle. Their data excluded all models of single-locus inheritance, leaving multifactorial inheritance as the only remaining possibility. (With thanks to Dave Steffen)

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
