Popis: | In a South American lineage of 668 subjects, mainly Uruguayan, ninety-seven members were afflicted with one or more components of a triad consisting of nephritis, deafness and various eye disorders. These components are described. Men were more severely and more often fatally affected than women. Among the various genetic hypotheses, autosomal association and preferential segregation of X chromosome seems perhaps the most likely, although the data indicate that an additional unknown factor is involved. |
