TEXT

The genetics is considered complex. Joint laxity, normally greater in females than in males, probably accounts for the preponderance of affected females over males. Laxity of joints, often familial (147900), is probably a factor, especially in males. Hip dysplasia with dislocation occurs in high frequency in the German shepherd dog. Autosomal dominant inheritance was favored by Bornfors et al. (1964). Dislocation of the hip is an occasional feature of conditions with simple inheritance, e.g., Marfan syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Record and Edwards (1958) estimated the risk of recurrence in subsequently born sibs to be about 5%. Congenital dislocation of the hip generally behaves as a multifactorial trait. However, Horton et al. (1979) observed a kindred in which 16 males and 16 females in 6 generations were affected. There were several examples of male-to-male transmission. In 27 family members hip dislocation was associated with joint laxity. Five had joint laxity only. Six obligate heterozygotes showed no abnormality. A classic article by Perkins (1928) on signs by which to diagnose congenital dislocation of the hip was excerpted by Peltier (1992). 30 MEDLINE Neighbors
