What happens during the disease - accessory finger(s)
Accessory finger(s) is a congenital malformation caused by a failure of the developing limb bud to properly form the upper limb. it occurs when a supernumerary digit forms from the same limb bud as the normal digits, resulting in an extra finger or thumb. it is believed to be caused by a disruption of the normal signaling pathways between the apical ectodermal ridge and the limb bud, which can be caused by genetic mutations, environmental factors, or a combination of both.
