Abstract
Three novel copy number alterations were observed in 3 unrelated patients with sporadic (no known family history) DD. Nine polymorphic CNVRs were found to be common among the DD cases. These variants might contain genes involved in DD formation, indicating that important gene networks expressed within the palmar fascia might contribute to genetic susceptibility of DD.
