It’s just random. No pattern at all.

It is more prevalent than I thought (and my Dr). Small percentage of people, but around the world. I read more to men.

It affects men and women equally and I believe it is about 1 in 6000 live births

I'm sure there's a lot more people out there that have Poland syndrome and they just have never done anything about it.

Poland syndrome has been estimated to occur in 1 in 20,000 newborns. For unknown reasons, this disorder occurs more than twice as often in males than in females. Poland syndrome may be underdiagnosed because mild cases without hand involvement may never come to medical attention
