Sequencing results of the HOXD13 gene from affected and unaffected individuals, compared with the reference HOXD13 gene sequence, the affected members all carried a 27-bp insertion, encoding nine additional alanines.

Synpolydactyly is a joint presentation of syndactyly (fusion of digits) and polydactyly (production of supernumerary digits). This is often a result of a mutation in the HOX D13 gene.[1]
