Familial jejunal atresia with renal dysplasia

J Pediatr Surg. 1996 Oct;31(10):1427-9. doi: 10.1016/s0022-3468(96)90846-5.

Abstract

Although jejunal atresia occasionally may occur with a familial pattern, an association with renal disease has not been described. The authors report on three family members treated over two generations, all of whom had both proximal jejunal atresia and renal dysplasia. This association was most likely inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.
