Dupuytren diathesis and genetic risk.

PURPOSE Dupuytren disease (DD) is a benign fibrosing disorder of the hand and fingers. Recently, we identified 9 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with DD in a genome-wide association study. These SNPs can be used to calculate a genetic risk score for DD. The aim of this study was to test whether certain clinical characteristics (including the DD diathesis features) of patients ...

Dupuytren disease: Anatomy, pathology, presentation, and treatment.

The disorder called Dupuytren's disease has been recognized for approximately 400 years. Its presentation, although seemingly rather constant, is actually extremely variable, depending on which structures are involved. A thorough knowledge of palmar fascial anatomy is essential to the understanding of Dupuytren's disease.

Prevalence of Dupuytren Disease in The Netherlands HAND / PERIPHERAL NERVE

394 Dupuytren disease is a benign fibroproliferative disease of some of the palmar fascias of the hand. This disease causes the formation of nodules that can eventually progress into cords, giving rise to flexion contractures of the affected fingers. Etiologic risk factors previously described include smoking, alcohol consumption, manual work, hand trauma, diabetes mellitus, and epilepsy.1–4 Ho...
