title: [Heredity in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome].
abstract: Medical genetic consultation was provided for 35 patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPWS). The investigators ascertained the family history, inquired and examined patients, referred the patients' relatives for ECG and echocardiographic investigations. A newly diagnosed WPWS was reported in 3, Clerc-Levy-Cristesco (CLC) syndrome in 17, CLC phenomenon in 45 out of 132 grade I and II relatives of the proband. The study confirmed autosomal dominant inheritance of WPWS. More frequent occurrence of the syndrome was noted in the proband's relatives in case the disease occurred in both parents, less frequent in families with the history of one WPWS-affected parent. It is suggested that the disease should be considered associated with hereditary predisposition.
