  Ectrodactyly - ectrodactyly of the hand
Tridactyly is the ectrodactyly condition of having three digits on a limb, as in some birds and ancestors of the horse such as Protohippus and Hipparion.
Ectrodactyly is the congenital absence of all or part of one or more fingers or toes.
This term is used for a range of conditions from aphalangia (in which ectrodactyly of the hand the some of the phalanges or finger bones are missing), to adactyly (the absence of a digit).

 Re: Where can i find info on Zimbabwe tribe Wadomo that have ectrodactyly
Ectrodactyly results when the middle "rays" (structures that will eventually develop into bones) of the hand and foot are not created during development.
The fact that ectrodactyly maps to at least two places in the genome (chromosomes 7 and 19), suggests that there are at least two gene/protein pairs involved in the creation of the middle rays of the developing limb terminus.
Because numerous examples of ectrodactyly have been seen in unrelated populations and families around the world, I suspect that independent mutations occurred around the world, and gave rise to the groups of ectrodactylous people that we see today.
