Symptoms Of Fraser Syndrome To Watch For

Webbed Fingers Or Toes

Webbed fingers or toes occur when the skin between the digits fuses. This condition is known as syndactyly, which is the most common malformation of the limbs a child might be born with, occurring in about one in every two thousand births. The condition occurs when the fingers don't separate into individual digits. In most healthy babies, the separation of the fingers occurs between the sixth and eighth weeks of embryonic development. Syndactyly isn't always a sign of Fraser syndrome, as it can happen on its own. It's also common for this phenomenon to occur with cleft lips or cleft hands. This feature occurs in more than twenty-eight different syndromes.
