Proceedings of the XII Annual all-Russian research and practical conference with international participation "health – the base of human potential: problems and ways to solve them", Saint Petersburg State University, Peter the Great Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University,p. 676-682 | Series/Report: | XII ANNUAL ALL–RUSSIAN RESEARCH AND PRACTICAL CONFERENCE WITH INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATION "HEALTH – THE BASE OF HUMAN POTENTIAL: PROBLEMS AND WAYS TO SOLVE THEM" | Series/Report no.: | 12, part 2 | Status: | In press | Abstract: | We showed some examples of supernumerary structures in lower arm and hand, by means of their presence during ontogeny and in comparative anatomy. In non-human primates and their predecessors, the presence of such supernumerary muscles as the contrahentes muscles and the extensor digitorum profundus muscle, may be quite normal, while with respect to human anatomy most of these muscle-layers disappear during ontogeny. Full persistence however, may be associated with certain genetic conditions. A specific example of supernumerary digital rays in the definitive hand, namely the Ellis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome or postaxial polydactyly, was then discussed. First depicted in 1670, this genetic condition did persist by inheritance, in the offspring of 17th and 18th century mennonite migrants, fleeing from Switzerland and the Palatinate. Currently described in Amish and Brasilian families, this condition also occurs in Western Australian Aboriginal families. | Notes: | Next persons are thanked for their interest, encouragement and help over the past four years: Peter de Knijff, Thomas Vanderveldt, Pieter Bol, Frietson Galis, Alain Nchimi, and Johanna Mock.
