They continued to grow, the first or most preaxial digits of Sissy's hands.

The saying concerned the first or most preaxial digit of the human hand, although it had nothing to do with palmistry.

A more technical term for this fifth claw on the rear legs is hind-limb-specific preaxial polydactyly.

Jelly took Sissy's hand, carefully avoiding its first or most preaxial digit, and helped her to feel the depression in her belly.

Dr. Robbins looked hard at Sissy's preaxial digits, then at his own.

The mapping showed that the acropectoral locus was in a region where preaxial polydactyly and triphalangeal thumb-polysyndactyly had previously been mapped.

It says "the short, thick first or most preaxial digit of the human hand, differing from the other fingers by having two phalanges and greater freedom of movement."

They do not know, are never to know, whether the sound issued from your throat or was produced by your first or most preaxial digit as it was thrown through air.

A recently proposed candidate gene for preaxial polydactyly is LMBR1, encoding a novel transmembrane receptor, which may be an upstream regulator of SHH.

Other names for acropectoral syndrome include ACRPS, Syndactyly, preaxial polydactyly and sternal deformity, and ACRP syndrome.

Previously, preaxial polydactyly and sternal defects have been linked to ectopic expression of the gene Sonic hedgehog Shh in limbbud and lateral plate mesoderm during development in mice.

Were your brain appreciably larger, large enough to put the strain on your Princess Grace neck that your loppy preaxial digits put upon your wrists, you conceivably would possess a superior intellect.

Mutations in this gene have been associated with several diseases, including Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome, Pallister-Hall syndrome, preaxial polydactyly type IV, and postaxial polydactyly types A1 and B.

This syndrome also differed from acropectorovertebral dysplasia because of the carpal, tarsal, and metatarsal synostoses as well as the preaxial polydactyly that occurred in the feet as well as in the hands.

Preaxial polydactyly occurs in SSTM 5025, where extra digits only develop anteriorly to digit I. This condition is seen in earlier stem tetrapods from the Devonian period such as Ichthyostega and Acanthostega.

Fourteen had preaxial polydactyly in the feet (unilateral in one, bilateral in 13), consisting of a small extra biphalangeal toe, in most cases with an associated rudimentary extra metatarsal, lying in a soft tissue web between the hallux and second toe.
