Title: Familial Williams syndrome. Author: Cortada X, Taysi K, Hartmann AF. Journal: Clin Genet; 1980 Sep; 18(3):173-6. PubMed ID: 7192194.

The Williams syndrome generally has been thought to have a sporadic occurrence. The rare familial occurrence, however, suggests a possible heterogeneity in its etiology and also points out the importance of careful examination of the other family members for proper genetic counseling.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
