Short description

Polydactyly is an anatomical condition where an animal has more toes than usual.

General Information

Polydactyly is an anatomical condition where an animal has more toes than usual. Multiple variants are known, the most well known variant is the “Hemmingway mutation” that occurs in Main Coons, also known as Hw.

Polydactyly in cats, a birth defect, results in more than 18 digits. Extra toes can appear on any paw, in various combinations, and their occurrence follows an irregular statistical pattern. Polydactyly doesn’t influence the overall health of a cat. It is not painful or harmful and it doesn’t lead to more health issues.

At CombiBreed, the three above variants are tested together as a package. Results of all three mutations will be given. For more information about each test, read the description at the individual test. Other polydactyly variants exist but the causal mutations for these variants have not been discovered yet. Therefore they cannot be tested.
