I think it's probably more likely that she had some kind of minor birth defect on her hand. Jean Plaidy (whose historical novel about Anne and Catherine Howard, Murder Most Royal, sparked my life-long love of all things Tudor) referred to it as the "beginning of a sixth nail" and why she started wearing those much-imitated elongated "Boleyn Sleeves." Although, again, there are those who say these stories are apocryphal.
