Webbed feet. This webbing (syndactyly) between a baby's toes is due to Apert's syndrome,an inherited disease. Apert's syndrome,also know as acrocephalosyndactyly,also causes webbing on the hands and the premature closing of the skull bones resulting in a peak-shaped head. The webbing of the hands and feet is characteristic of Apert's,compared to other types of webbing the bones also become fused. Apert's syndrome is caused by a gene mutation and affects 1 in 160,000 births | |
