Abstract

We investigated whether handedness is influenced by the presence of a congenital hand difference (CHD). Among 31 children with right-sided CHDs, 13 were left-handed and 18 were right-handed, regardless of severity. This was significantly different from the normal population, suggesting that CHD does influence handedness.
