Dominantly inherited glomerulonephritis and an unusual skin disease.
An unusual association of uncommon facies including telangiectasia in a butterfly distribution, a similar skin lesion on extensor areas, sparse hair, and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is described in a 4 year old boy and his father. The mode of inheritance of these features seems to be autosomal dominant.
