If there were a medically recognized form of prenatal deformity in which toes were formed on hands in place of fingers, I suppose in vernacular speech, it might well be known as Toefinger (or maybe Fingertoe).
And it so happens that in Greek the word "dactylos" can mean either finger or toe.
So, in technical terminology, Toefinger Syndrome (or Fingertoe Syndrome) would be known as "Dactylodactyly".
