Rutherfurd's Syndrome: <i>A Familial Oculo‐Dental Disorder</i>

Abstract

Summary The association of corneal dystrophy, hypertrophy of the gingivae and failure of tooth eruption is described in five generations of a family believed to be the same one as that described by Rutherfurd in 1931. The abnormalities are inherited together through an autosomal dominant gene but no gross abnormalities of chromosomal size, shape or number have been identified.
