AI Article Synopsis
- Hand-food-genital syndrome (HFGS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities in the hands, feet, and genitals.
- The report highlights two patients, aged 33 and 15, who exhibit related physical issues due to this condition.
- The disorder is linked to an autosomal anomaly involving the HOXA 13 gene, and the report explores therapeutic options to determine the best treatment strategies for these patients.
Article 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.

The genes cluster plays a key role in embryologic development. Mutations in genes have been linked to different human phenotypes, including developmental delay, limb anomalies, and urogenital malformations. The present study reported a clinical and genetic investigation of a female patient with polymalformative syndrome including left arm agenesis, bicornuate uterus and bicuspid aortic valve.
