title: [Cryptorchism associated with hereditary nephritis: a 3-generation study in a Puerto Rican family].
abstract: Twenty three members of a family affected by Alport disease were studied throughout three generation. The incidence of auditory, ocular and hematological manifestation was low. It was found that four males with nephritis also had cryptorchism. This is a documentation of the previously unrecorded occurrence of cryptorchism associated with familiar nephritis. The characteristics of this pedigree are described and a review of the literature is presented.
