Adactyly
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-000220
A congenital malformation characterized by the complete absence of digits (fingers or toes) on a limb. This developmental anomaly can affect one or more limbs and may occur in isolation or as part of a broader syndrome. Adactyly is a rare condition resulting from disruptions during embryonic limb development.
