Patient's question:
I carried a child with right clubfoot, and had an abortion when he/she was six and a half months old. Is it caused by chromosomal abnormalities?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, pes planus (foot inversion) is caused by a developmental failure of the foot's tendons and ligaments (posterior and deep ones), which fail to develop in sync with the rest of the foot's tendons and ligaments. As a result, these tendons and ligaments pull the back and inner side of the foot downward, causing the foot to twist inward and downward.Advice: This condition is caused by developmental abnormalities and is generally unrelated to chromosomes. It does not fall under genetic diseases.
