The genetic analysis of monilethrix in a large inbred kindred.
The gene for monilethrix was segregating in a large inbred kindred. Pedigree analysis reaffirms an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Expressivity appears equally variable within and between sibships while penetrance, in contrast to previous studies, seems to be complete.
