| Abstract: | ![]()
A family with hereditary nephritis, sensorineural hearing loss, macrocephaly, and mental retardation is reported. X-linked recessive inheritance was suggested by the presence of two affected brothers and a maternal uncle. This association may be a previously unreported variant of Alport's syndrome. |
