title: Autosomal dominant inheritance of Klein-Waardenburg syndrome.
abstract: We report on 2 sibs with the Klein-Waardenburg syndrome; they had dystopia canthorum, blepharophimosis, and bilateral flexion contractures of the fingers. The children's father and paternal aunt are also affected. This report confirms that the Klein-Waardenburg syndrome is an autosomal dominant syndrome.
