Question about clubfoot gene

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry if this has been explained before, I don't always get to

read all the posts. When was born they said his clubfoot was

most likely caused by his position in the uterus, but I'm not sure

whether they knew for sure or not. 's legs were also bent in

addition to his feet. About halfway down his calves his legs turned in

and his feet were turned in as well.

Here's my question? What's the difference between clubfoot caused by a

gene and clubfoot caused by the position in the uterus? Is there a

true clubfoot diagnosis that can be made based on genes? The reason

I'm asking is if we decide to have more children it would be nice to

know if it's genetic or positional. Also, does clubfoot usually

involve the legs or just the foot?

Thanks,
