Another term for ectrodactylia; a congenital condition characterized by the absence or severe underdevelopment of fingers or toes.
From Greek 'ektroma' (defect) + 'daktylos' (finger); a variant formation of ectrodactylia using the '-ly' ending, common in medical nomenclature.
Ectrodactyly appears in split-hand/split-foot malformation, one of the rarest congenital conditions, and it's been traced to specific mutations in the TP63 gene—sometimes one mutation changes everything!
