Clin Genet. 1993 May;43(5):232-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-0004.1993.tb03808.x.

Abstract

In this report we document male-to-male transmission in the hand-foot-genital syndrome. An affected father transmitted the syndrome to his three sons. A grade IV hypospadias, which was the most severe genital anomaly in affected males, was present in the youngest, moderately mentally retarded microcephalic male sibling.
