Additional Information:

Clinical Description OMIM The clinical features include small feet with unusually short great toes and abnormal thumbs. Females with the disorder have duplication of the genital tract, including longitudinal vaginal septum (Stern et al., 1970). The radiographic changes were reviewed by ...
Molecular genetics OMIM On the basis of update and linkage analysis of the family reported by Stern et al. (1970), Mortlock (1996) and his colleagues demonstrated mutation in the HOXA13 gene (142959) as the cause of the hand-foot-uterus syndrome. Affected members ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews Hand-foot-genital syndrome (HFGS) is characterized by fully penetrant limb malformations and incompletely penetrant urogenital defects caused by mutations in HOXA13 [Mortlock & Innis 1997]....
Clinical Description GeneReviews Hand-foot-genital syndrome (HFGS) has been reported in several families or individuals [Devriendt et al 1999, Goodman et al 2000, Becker et al 2002, Debeer et al 2002, Innis et al 2002, Utsch et al 2002, Frisén et al 2003, Innis et al 2004]. Although some minor variation in the severity of limb defects may be observed, the defects are usually similar bilaterally. The radius/ulna, humerus, tibia/fibula, and femur are normal. With the exception of thenar hypoplasia, abnormalities of muscle have not been reported. ...
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews Although the number of affected individuals in whom mutations in HOXA13 have been identified is small, some genotype-phenotype correlations are emerging....
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews Thumb hypoplasia, often in addition to other anomalies, should prompt the consideration of the following disorders:...
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with hand-foot-genital syndrome (HFGS), the following evaluations are recommended:...
