Clin Genet. 1986 Feb;29(2):147-50. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-0004.1986.tb01239.x.

Abstract

A three generation family is described in which four members were found to have congenital suprabulbar paresis (Worster-Drought syndrome). It is suggested that some cases of congenital suprabulbar paresis are inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with variable expression and penetrance.
