Inheritance of microtia and aural atresia in a family with five affected members

Clin Genet. 1979 Nov;16(5):331-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-0004.1979.tb01011.x.

Abstract

Only a few reports of congenital meatal atresia and microtia have been published. Dominant as well as recessive inheritance has been suggested. We report a family with five affected members in two generations. An irregularly dominant transmission seems to be the most likely explanation.
