title: Inheritance of familial congenital isolated anorectal malformations: case report and review.
abstract: We report on a 3-generation family with 4 members affected with congenital low anorectal malformations. The vertical segregation of the anomalies and the occurrence of affected males and females support autosomal-dominant inheritance, which was suggested previously for this type of congenital anomaly.
