Hand-foot-uterus-(HFU) syndrome with hypospadias: the hand-foot-genital- (HFG) syndrome

Pediatr Radiol. 1976 Feb 13;4(2):96-102. doi: 10.1007/BF00973951.

Abstract

Three brothers with the typical findings of the HFU-syndrome, but in addition with various degrees of hypospadias are reported. The family history otherwise was negative. The similarity of the "pattern-profile" of these cases with the mean pattern of the 11 previously reported ones is striking, as expressed by a product moment correlation of 0.83, 0.8 and 0.78 respectively. The widening of the concept of the HFU to that of a HFG-syndrome, as suggested by Poznanski et al, in 1974, is discussed.
