What is the clubfoot study?
The purpose of this research study is to identify the genes and environmental factors causing isolated clubfoot. Isolated means that only the feet are affected. We are collecting information about specific exposures during pregnancy and obtaining blood samples from which DNA will be made. DNA is the blueprint or roadmap that determines how all parts of our body form. We will use the DNA to determine whether specific genes are associated with clubfoot and will also correlate whether specific types of exposures are linked to clubfoot.
