Genome‐Wide Scan of Fifth Finger Clinodactyly by Myoung Keun Lee, Noah Herrick, Mary L. Marazita, John R. Shaffer, Seth M. Weinberg

“…Further, there is epidemiological evidence that mild (typical‐range) fifth finger clinodactyly may have a different etiology than more severe forms. Methods In this retrospective cross‐sectional study, we carried out genome‐wide association mapping of common genetic variants for clinodactyly in three cohorts separately and combined results via meta‐analysis, treating the trait as either a continuous quantitative variable (nmeta = 631) or a binary outcome (nmeta = 1647). …”
