10. Hand Deformities

Although less common, this sign is unique and another indicator from birth that a baby may have KTS. There are two typical malformations of the hand that some KTS patients experience. The first is polydactyly. This condition is characterized by the presence of an extra finger on the hand or an extra toe on the foot.

It can occur on one or more limbs. The extra finger is typically smaller than the others. The second malformation that can occur is syndactyly. This is whereby there is a fusion of one or more fingers or toes. This results in webbing that may or may not extend up to the fingertip.
