Many cases seem to occur without an apparent cause, while some may occur due to a genetic ( inherited ) defect, environmental exposure during pregnancy, or a combination or both factors. Syndactyly may also occur as a part of an underlying genetic syndrome and can be found in over 300 different genetic syndromes
