Abstract
Gow and Oliver (1971) were the first to find, in a family with DEVR, a pattern of inheritance which in their opinion was consistent with autosomal dominant transmission. In most of the subsequently reported families with DEVR, too, autosomal dominant transmission was likely, even though another mode of transmission could sometimes not be excluded with certainty in smaller pedigrees (Slusher and Hutton, 1979; Dudgeon, 1980; Ober et al., 1980: pedigree 1). Since the basis of our knowledge of the hereditary transmission of DEVR is rather narrow due to the limited number of published cases (only 60 instances of DEVR have been published as such), it may be useful to consider the pattern of inheritance in our pedigrees in some detail, and to test it against the hypothesis of automal dominant transmission.
