Abstract:
:A family is described in which 16 individuals in 3 generations have Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. At least 6 family members also have the naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. In addition, 1 subject with both disorders has 2 young daughters with the naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.
