My husband had Dupuytren’s in his ring and pinky fingers on one hand. This was corrected with surgery and has not returned. I am pregnant with our first child. Do I need to worry that our child will have this problem?

Although Dupuytren's is genetic, meaning it tends to run in families, the problem usually affects mostly men after age 40. This is an extremely rare condition in children with only one case under the age of 8 even reported. If you still have concerns, don’t hesitate to talk about this with your physician.
