In other species: chicken , turkey , dog , domestic cat , horse , pig , Arabian camel , guanaco , llama , Western roe deer , taurine cattle , goat , sheep , domestic guinea pig , alpaca , springbok

Categories: Skeleton phene (incl. short stature & teeth) , Limbs / fins / digit / tail phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 174500 (trait) , 605522 (gene) , 188740 (trait)

Single-gene 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.
