Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia: a clinical analysis.

abstract：:The observation of Campbell and Price in 1979 that their Unit had diagnosed four subjects with both Klinefelter's syndrome and congenital hypothyroidism raised the suspicion of an association between the two conditions.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Alport syndrome is a clinically heterogeneous, progressive nephropathy caused by mutations in collagen IV genes, namely COL4A3 and COL4A4 on chromosome 2 and COL4A5 on chromosome X. The wide phenotypic variability and the presence of incomplete penetrance suggest that a simple Mendelian model cannot complete...
