This variant of polydactyly, corresponding to the primary ring, is observed in the region of the &quot;preaxial&quot; segment, where extra fingers are added, located in the direction of the big toe. The disorder is multifactorial in nature and can develop in combination with other genetic and environmental factors. Preaxial polydactyly type 1, also known as &quot;Bauer polydactyly&quot;, is one of the most common variants of polydactyly and can be caused by a variety of genetic abnormalities, including mutations in genes responsible for the pattern of limb development.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div

of the disease and interesting historical facts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The history of polydactyly research goes back to ancient civilizations, when doctors and scientists began to record abnormalities in the development of limbs. The 19th century saw significant contributions to the understanding of hereditary diseases, including polydactyly. Research conducted during this time helped establish some patterns of transmission in families. One of the first styles of polydactyly to be described was in patients from certain ethnic groups, such as Native Americans. The disease attracted particular attention from famous cultural and artistic figures who were found to have extra fingers, which later inspired the creation of works of art that became symbols of uniqueness and eccentricity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D0%AD%D0%BF%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B8%D1%8F\"><\/span>Epidemiology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Preaxial polydactyly type 1 has a variety of manifestations and prevalence statistics, depending on geographic and ethnic factors. It usually occurs in 1 in 1000 newborns, making it one of the most common anomalies. According to some studies, in Asian populations, the number of cases can reach 1 in 500, and among African populations, this defect is observed in 1 in 700 cases. The severity of the anomaly can vary from one or two extra fingers to complete duplication of the limbs. Medical care is most often sought in childhood, when parents notice anomalies in the development of the hands and feet of their children.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D0%93%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C_%D0%BA_%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BC%D1%83_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8E\"><\/span>Genetic predisposition to this disease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Genetic predisposition to preaxial polydactyly type 1 is associated with several genes involved in limb development. The major genes involved include **GLI3**, **SHH**, and **ZRS**, and mutations in these genes can lead to disruption of the normal process of determining the number and shape of digits. Epigenetic factors also play a significant role in the pathogenesis of this disease. For example, mutations in the **GLI3** gene can cause various forms of dysmorphogenesis, and immunization to the limb development process that occurs as a result of mutations in other genes can lead to more complex cases of polydactyly. A high degree of heritability is also noted in this disease, with up to 70% cases having a family history.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D0%A4%D0%B0%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%8B_%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F\"><\/span>Risk factors for the development of this disease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Risk factors associated with the development of preaxial polydactyly type 1 can be both physical and chemical.
