Abstract

We present a case of familial prune belly syndrome and review potential modes of inheritance for the syndrome. A total of 11 cases of familial prune belly syndrome have been reported. These cases were reviewed and possible modes of inheritance were determined for each case. Our review strongly suggests a sex-influenced autosomal recessive mode of inheritance.
