Familial spontaneous pneumothorax is a rare condition. Two families with this condition are described: identical twin sisters of one family and three brothers of another family. The suggestion is made that at least some cases of spontaneous pneumothorax are genetically determined.
家族性自发性气胸是一种罕见病症。本文描述了两个患有此病的家族:一个家族中的同卵双胞胎姐妹,以及另一个家族中的三兄弟。研究表明,至少部分自发性气胸病例是由基因决定的。
