Congenital Obstruction of the Lacrimal Passages in Five Consecutive Generations

Congenital Obstruction of the Lacrimal Passages in Five Consecutive Generations Congenital epiphora due to absence or imperforation of lacrimal puncta and/or canaliculi was present in 21 members from five consecutive generations of a Sicilian family. The anomaly was transmitted as an autosomal-dominant characteristic with apparently complete penetrance and highly variable expressivity. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Ophthalmologica Karger
