Involvement in disease

Hand-foot-genital syndrome

HFG

A disorder characterized by limb and genitourinary anomalies. Clinical features include small feet with unusually short great toes and abnormal thumbs. Females with the disorder have duplication of the genital tract.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Guttmacher syndrome

GUTTS

Dominantly inherited combination of distal limb and genital tract abnormalities. It has several features in common with hand-foot-genital syndrome, including hypoplastic first digits and hypospadias. Typical features not seen in hand-foot-genital syndrome include postaxial polydactyly of the hands and uniphalangeal second toes with absent nails.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Belongs to the Abd-B homeobox family.
