Exploring the genetic and clinical landscape of clubfoot

A new publication offers an extensive examination of clubfoot, a congenital deformity known as congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), affecting about 0.3% of all live births.

In-Depth Analysis of Clubfoot Causes and Treatment Advances

A groundbreaking study published in Genes & Diseases delves deeply into the intricate genetic and molecular landscape of clubfoot, medically referred to as congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV). Affecting approximately 0.3% of all live births globally, this congenital deformity manifests as a pronounced inward rotation of the foot, often leading to impaired mobility and challenging rehabilitation if diagnosis and intervention are delayed.
