The family genetic history of one or both husband and wife is the strongest risk factor for polydactyly (polydactyly) or syndactyly (polydactyly) congenital malformation in offspring. If one or both couples have a family genetic history of polydactyly, 90.18% of the total cases are caused by genetic factors. In recent years, four polydactyly loci have been located by molecular biology research.

Second, environmental factors are also related to polydactyly. A considerable part of polydactyly is caused by environmental factors, and polydactyly is the focus of crowd prevention. Smoking during pregnancy, exposure to agricultural chemicals during pregnancy and occupational exposure to harmful substances before pregnancy increase the risk of fetal polydactyly.
