As shown in 91 embryos and fetuses in the 41–235 mm crown‐rump length, brachymesophalangia‐5 may be identified in prenatal time. Although the ratios involving different combinations of length of mid‐5 relative to other segments yield different frequencies of BMP‐5, the short middle segment of the little finger is already associated with clinodactyly and developmental eccentricity as early as the ninth week of prenatal development.
