Congenital anal anomalies in two families with the Opitz G syndrome.
Five children from two families presented to a regional neonatal surgical unit between 1959 and 1984 with congenital anal anomalies and other malformations resulting from an autosomal dominant inherited condition, the Opitz G syndrome. This and other Mendelian causes of congenital anal malformations are briefly discussed in view of their importance for genetic counselling.
