What happens during the disease - accessory toe(s)
Accessory toe(s) is a congenital condition with a complex etiology, usually caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. it is believed to be caused by a failure of the developing embryo to properly differentiate and form the foot bones, resulting in the formation of an extra toe. it is also believed to be caused by a disruption of the normal process of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, which results in the development of extra toe tissue.
