oligodactyly |
| has gloss | eng: Oligodactyly in humans is "the presence of fewer than five fingers or toes on a hand or foot" . It is quite often incorrectly called hypodactyly, but the Greek prefixes hypo- and hyper- are used for continuous scales (e.g. in hypoglycaemia and hypercholesterolemia). This as opposed to discrete or countable scales, where oligo- and poly- should be used (e.g. in oligarchy and polygamy). Oligodactyly is therefore the opposite of polydactyly . Very rare, this medical condition usually has a genetic or familial etiology . |
