Hand-foot-genital syndrome - analysis of two cases

Mauri J Piazza et al. JBRA Assist Reprod. .

Abstract

Hand-food-genital syndrome (HFGS) is a rare genetic condition. This report describes the cases of two patients, aged 33 and 15, presenting related somatic abnormalities. HFGS stems from an autosomal anomaly linked to the HOXA 13 gene. Therapeutic procedures are discussed in order to identify the best treatment approach to the patients, as well as possible conditioning genetic anomalies.

Keywords: Autosomal abnormalities; Hand-food-genital syndrome.; Urogenital abnormalities.
