Following the new classification of malformation syndromes genua recurvata in four newborns with pathogenetically different genetic syndromes (Larsen syndrome, Greig-polysyndactyly-syndrome, partial trisomy 10q and myelocele) have to be classified as a result of deformation. Genua recurvata in our patients are not symptoms caused by a specific syndrome, but have to be interpreted as a sequence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
