Overview
Causes
There are different causes for clubfoot:
- Mainly caused by Edwards' syndrome, a genetic defect with three copies of chromosome 18.
- genetic causes with incidence rates increasing significantly when multiple direct family members have the condition.
- External influences such as intrauterine compression from oligohydramnios or from amniotic band syndrome.
- TEV may be associated with other birth defects such as spina bifida cystica.
- Use of MDMA (Ecstasy) while pregnant has been linked with this congenital abnormality.[1]
