Hirschsprung's disease and congenital deafness. Familial assocation

A G Weinberg et al. Hum Genet. .

Abstract

A family is described showing deafness in three consecutive generations. Hirshchsprung's disease was present in at least two of the affected patients and a history of bowel dysfunction was present in the third. The assocation of the two disorders in this family may be due to a single autosomal dominant gene and in this regard differs from previously reported isolated patients with Hirschsprung's disease and deafness.
