If my bf had Syndactyly, what is the possibility our kids would have it?


My bf had Syndactyly when he was born, and im guessin his mom was positive- carrying the trait.....is there a test to be done so we could see if our children will get it and what is the chances that our kids would have Syndactyly?
----------

There are so many syndromes that include syndactyly, that question is impossible to answer.

However, there are two major forms of syndactyly in which it is autosomal dominant. Which means there is a 50% chance in the offspring.

You might be able to narrow down what he has by finding out if other family members, including ancestors, were affected.

I am including a link that has a list of types and what is known about them from a genetic standpoint.  (+ info)

Syndactyly - webbed feet, has anyone had the operation to separate two webbed toes?


I've been self conscious all my life but just tried to get through life by covering my toes up lol. I've decided I want the op but have no idea where to go, who to ask, how much it costs, would I need a skin graft, how long would I be out of work for etc etc. If anyone has been through it please share your experience!!
----------

so im 14 and i have two webbed toes on each foot.. i was always so self concious, i would refuse to wear flip flops or go to a public pool. at 12 years old i was going to get surgery. but after the doctor told me that he would need to take some skin out of my stomach to put on my toes, which would leave a huge scar on my stomach, i decided not to get it. now i am proud of my toes. it just makes us original! and if you make a joke about your toes, or just act confident, people wont think they are weird. when i was shy about them, whenever a person saw they would make fun of me. but now im confident and normally point them out before a person notices by themselves, and they say how cool it is.

dont get the surgery it is a waste! and instead of being self concious about your toes you will have to go the rest of your life with giant scars on your body! you just need to learn to love your toes, and then people wont even care.  (+ info)

I'm looking for some-one who has been through the separation process of complex syndactyly?


Our fourth child was born with complex sydactyly to her right hand. Her thumb and 1st finger are fussed, fingers 2 & 3 are missing and she has her little finger. We are lookimg to find someone who has been throu something simular to see if they think the seperation is worth doing. ( for the on going pain for the child). And the use of the hand after surgery?

Its well worth it. There wasn't that much pain. They do give pain pills if there is. The hand is as normal as can be after it heals.  (+ info)

Parents who have children with simple syndactyly..?


My son was born on Monday with his middle and ring finger joined. His pediatrician didn't provide a great deal of information on the condition. He basically just told us that it was nothing to worry about and that he'd be refered to a specialist at his first appointment. He told us that surgery would be required to separate the fingers when my son is a bit older. What age is the surgery usually done at? Also, will his fingers ever have a normal appearance or will it be obvious that he's had corrective surgery?
----------

My cousin had a daughter with syndactyly. She had 2 thumbs, that were joined together. She just got her surgery to get 1 off yesterday. She is 7 months old. I haven't seen her, but I'm sure it won't be obvious.  (+ info)

I have a question about syndactyly.?


My 2 year old son has syndactyly (webbed fingers) of his left hand (ring and middle finger). I am wondering how long does the surgery take and what is done during surgery? And what happens after? He goes in a coule weeks for a consulation and stuff, but I'm just curious if anyone has went through this. Thanks.

Hi.
I'm 14 and I was born with syndactyly (pinky & ring finger on both hands).

I got the surgery done when I was 2 also and they did both hands separately.
They took the skin from my waist and put it on my fingers, and the skin from my fingers on my waist.
After the surgery, they put on a cast.
I'm not sure for how long, but Ill edit this when I find out.
Make sure he can get some type of therapy afterwards, because I didn't, and I sometimes experience pain in my fingers, mostly in the winter time.  (+ info)

Does anyone know if Syndactyly ?


is something that will reoccur in another pregnancy if the past pregnancy had syndactyly? I've tried looking it up, but I don't see much. My son had syndactyly when he was born. Yes, I know about genetics too. Thanks for any help!
oh my! wow! i have no clue which side it came from when my son had it, but thankfully he had surgery on them! and now he has 5 beautiful (yet scarred) fingers
we just found out yesterday we're expecting. I think I will mention it to my ob/gyn that my son had a "birth defect"
the most unique thing about anyone and everyone....everyone has a birth defect no matter how small or big it is. at least there is someone out there that thinks they're beautiful. My son's defect is the most unique and beautiful thing about him. It makes him, HIM

hah i would love to know the answer to this question because i have it and no one else in my family does.  (+ info)
