Answers:
Clinodactyly: Curving of the fifth finger (the little finger) toward the fourth finger (the ring finger). Sometimes called "fifth finger clinodactyly" to distinguish it from similar curving of other finger or toes.

Clinodactyly is a minor congenital misshapenness (birth defect). The basis for the clinodactyly is that the middle bone surrounded by the fifth finger is underdeveloped and, instead of human being rectangular, is wedge- shaped.

Clinodactyly may occur as an isolated finding contained by a person who is entirely everyday or it may be found in association next to other congenital malformations and, sometimes, mental retardation. It is a common component of Down (trisomy 21) syndrome and Klinefelter (XXY) syndrome. No treatment is required for clinodactyly.

"Clinodactyly" is derived from the Greek "klinein" (to bend, slope or incline) and "dactylos" (finger, toe). Other English words formed from "klinein" include "clinocephaly" (a condition that cause skull depression or flatness) and "clinophobia" (fear of going to bed--that is, to bend the head to a pillow.) Other English words formed from "dactylos" include "dactylogram" (fingerprint) and "dactylography" (the study of fingerprints

My guess is PATAU, not patav. Patau is certain to have polydactylism (more than 5 fingers on a limb). Clynodactyly, which mode "1 finger" could also be present as a defect within patau syndrome.
