Versuch einer Lösung des Problems der Vererbung der Chondrocalcinosis articularis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2014
Summary
27 cases of articular chondrocalcinosis have been examined, 6 of which individual ones, and 21 derived from 5 pedigrees.
The four main pedigrees belong to families living all in the same village in south-western Slovakia, in a highly inbred region.
The disease is not supposed to manifest itself before the age of 20 to 30 years; before, no symptom can be detected, indicating a morbid condition. The inheritance could be sex-linked, which would explain the higher frequency in females (13 cases) than in males (8 cases).
