Our elder kiddo was born with poly, syn, clino and camptodactyly on (of?) one hand (right), and syn and clinodactyly on the other. Our younger kid lucked out I guess and only got camptodactyly on a few fingers of both hands.

And we have a barn full of polydactyl cats, they aren't uncommon at all in places where they weren't burned as witches.
