“…The distinctly different results obtained in subjects with congenital clubbing and those with acquired clubbing of the fingers leads one to the possibility that the underlying mechanisms in both types are different, although the duration of the condition may explain the differences. There is no agreement as to the microscopic pathology underlying clubbing of the fingers (9). No bony changes were noted in our cases to explain these findings and we are at present unable to account for them.…”

“…long known to be associated with grave disease." Familial clubbing, however, without clinical significance, in which the inheritance is of Mendelian dominant type, is well recognized (Horsfall, 1936;Seaton, 1938;Mendlowitz, 1942;Davis, 1946), although Witherspoon (1936) found only 14 families reported in the literature. Mendlowitz gave an exhaustive list of conditions associated with clubbing, at the same time pertinently remarking that " mere coincidence in isolated cases is not sufficient evidence of a causal relationship."…”
