Abstract
Observations on Dupuytren’s disease tend to show that the disease occurs predominantly in countries with small homogeneous populations and spreads mostly inside one ethnic group. Because of the autosomal dominant transmission with high penetrance, mainly men in northern regions are afflicted, often those of Celtic or Viking descent (SAAR et al., 2000).
