This is horribly written. I'll rewrite it. (This was unsigned and undated)

The properly quoted references were not even preserved. I am restoring it to the previous version. Also, symbrachydactyl is not referenced as a genetic disorder. If you want to change the entry to that, you will need to quote a reference for it. Cedron1 11:32, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Examining the cited source for the quoted statistic about the prevalence of symbrachydactyly (1 in 30k to 1 in 40k), I can see no mention of that stat. Moreover, the manuscript cited is not even about symbrachydactyly - it's about syndactyly, a different diagnosis. Symbrachydactyly is only mentioned in passing as one of a variety of other diagnoses that occurred in some patients, which was used as a basis for excluding them from the analysis (105 cases included various confounded diagnoses, one of which was symbrachydactyly) Gburtch (talk) 11:50, 12 January 2020 (UTC)gburtch[reply]
