title: Infantile myofibromatosis: two families supporting autosomal dominant inheritance.
abstract: We present two families in whom infantile myofibromatosis affects two generations. The disease expression in these families suggests an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Clinical diagnosis and establishment of the inheritance pattern have important prognostic implications for the affected individual and family members and serves to guide subsequent genetic counselling.
