The hand-foot-uterus syndrome: a case study

J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 1986 Sep;9(3):213-7.

Abstract

An autosomal dominant syndrome is described in 26 members of six generations in a single family. Distal extremity malformations are characteristic and superficially resemble those of arthrogryposis, chondroectodermal dysplasia, Cornelia de Lange syndrome, Faconi's anemia or Holt-Oram syndrome. There is an absence of spinal deformity, and females of the disorder have duplication of the genital tract.
