Ectrodactyly - Lobster-claw syndrome :

The word ectrodactyly comes from the Greek word ektroma, which means abortion and daktylos, which means finger; so it literally means, abortion (of a) finger. It occurs in 1 out of every 90,000 live births and was first described in 1936. The physical appearance is due to, “median clefts of the hands and feet and aplasia/or hypoplasia of the phalanges, metacarpals and metatarsals.” In other words, some fingers and toes are fused or missing. 
     Fortunately, people with this condition can lead normal lives, despite this physical abnormality. Highly successful radio host Bree Walker was born with Ectrodactyly, and she is an advocate for people with disabilities.
