Lint: post-axial-polydactyly

Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Duran et al. introduced their classification system for post-axial polydactyly in 2015 6. This classification was created as it was felt that the previous systems in use were not comprehensive for coverage of the different post-axial forms."

Line 31:60 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-axial'.

warning

"The majority of cases are idiopathic. Associations with mutations to the GLI3 gene on chromosome 7 as well as a second locus mapped to chromosome 13 have been implicated in postaxial polydactyly 5."
