Tiivistelmä
A three-generation Finnish family exhibited hypodontia associated with Dupuytren's disease (contracture). Of the known 32 members of the family, contracture has been diagnosed thus far in 5 individuals, 4 of these also with hypodontia. No other connective tissue involvement was found. For comparison, three other families were studied, also showing incomplete penetrance of hypodontia. Bearing in mind the genetic isolation of the Finnish population, this finding may be coincidental. The possibility of partially common genetic background cannot, however, be excluded.
