Macrodactyly of toes

What it is

A rare non-syndromic limb overgrowth characterized by isolated congenital enlargement of some or all tissue elements of one or more digits of a foot. Enlargement may be progressive with disproportionate or static with proportionate growth and can be unilateral or bilateral. It typically occurs within a peripheral nerve territory, with the nerve itself being elongated, as well as increased in diameter.

Classified as

Morphological anomaly

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

Signs and symptoms

These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.

Genes reported in subtypes

Orphanet records this gene on 1 more specific entry under this disorder, not on this entry itself:

A well-studied disease is usually split into subtypes, and the gene is curated on whichever one the evidence belongs to. Open a subtype to see which gene goes with it.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.
