  • Title: Familial opposable triphalangeal thumbs associated with duplication of the big toes.
    Author: Merlob P, Grunebaum M, Reisner SH.
    Journal: J Med Genet; 1985 Feb; 22(1):78-80. PubMed ID: 3981586.
    Abstract:
    A rare association of triphalangeal thumbs and duplication of the big toes is described. The family pedigree confirms autosomal dominant inheritance with marked penetrance. A systematic approach to the diagnosis of this anomaly is presented. The distinction between the two types of triphalangeal thumb, true (opposable) and finger-like (non-opposable), is emphasised.
