Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Disease-related: yes

Key variant known: no

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

Mapping: Zhang et al. (2024) investigated the polydacryly trait of the Taihu Dianzi pigeon which have extra toes on the outside of the inner toe of one or two feet.  Whole-genome resequencing combined with selective sweeps and GWAS identified SLC52A3 and ANGPT4 as candidate genes for further experimental verification.
