[Heredity of microstrabismus and predisposition to wide-angle strabismus (author's transl)]

Abstract

Some aspects of the genetic etiology of strabismus are discussed. As our research on a 19-member family including discordant monozygotic twins demonstrates, an inherited sensoric defect does not necessarily lead to wide-angle strabismus. Inherited factors probably always combine with secondary factors to produce wide-angle stabismus.
