Amouzou KS, Malonga-Loukoula ELJ, Kouevi-Koko TE, Bakriga B, Abalo A. Foot hexadactyly, social implications and management in the African setting: Case report. Turk J Pediatr 2018; 60: 453-455. Hexadactyly of the foot, an abnormal congenital condition presenting as eight toes, is a rare malformation. We report the case of a ten-year-old girl, admitted to our orthopedic and reconstructive surgery department for a preaxial hexadactyly. The girl was abandoned by her parents at birth and stopped school early due to stigmatization. The goals of the surgical procedure were: social reintegration, gait improvement, ability to wear shoes comfortably, and improved appearance of the foot. The surgery was a medial resection of the supernumerary toes.

Article Synopsis
- Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare genetic disorder with symptoms like vision loss, obesity, extra fingers or toes, cognitive issues, and genitourinary defects, caused by mutations in various genes.
- An 18-year-old boy showing symptoms of BBS underwent genetic testing, but initial methods didn't provide a clear diagnosis until whole-genome sequencing revealed two significant genetic changes affecting the BBS9 protein.
- The study emphasizes the importance of whole-genome sequencing for diagnosing rare diseases and highlights the need for functional validation to better understand the impact of genetic variants.

Heptadactyly and hexadactyly are rare congenital disorders from the polydactyly family. This type of polydactyly is usually classified into three major groups: preaxial (medial ray), postaxial (lateral ray), and central polydactyly. The most common presentation is both preaxial and postaxial polydactyly.

Polydactyly or hexadactyly is characterized by an extra digit/toe with or without a bone. Currently, variants in ten genes have been implicated in the non-syndromic form of polydactyly. DNA from a single affected individual having bilateral postaxial polydactyly was subjected to whole exome sequencing (WES), followed by Sanger sequencing.

Polydactyly is one of the most common foot congenital anomalies. It is often detected immediately after birth, but the diagnosis can sometimes be delayed if the symptoms are less evident. A 2-year-old girl with a complaint of recurrent bleeding from the right toenail was diagnosed with foot polydactyly.

Megalencephaly-polymicrogyria-polydactyly-hydrocephalus (MPPH) syndrome is a developmental brain disorder characterized by an enlarged brain size with bilateral perisylvian polymicrogyria and a variable degree of ventriculomegaly. MPPH syndrome is associated with oromotor dysfunction, epilepsy, intellectual disability and postaxial hexadactyly. The molecular diagnosis of this disorder is established by the identification of a pathogenic variant in either AKT3, CCND2 or PIK3R2.
