The incidence of a duplex urinary tract was determined in the parents and sibs of 30 index patients with either unilateral or bilateral bifid or double ureters. Our results support the hypothesis that a duplex urinary tract is inherited by an autosomal dominant gene of variable penetrance. Routine screening by limited intravenous pyelography of sibs of index patients is recommended in order to detect a duplex urinary tract before the onset of complications.
在30例患有单侧或双侧双肾盂或双输尿管的索引患者的父母及同胞中,确定了重复尿路的发病率。我们的结果支持这样一种假说,即重复尿路是由一个外显率可变的常染色体显性基因遗传的。建议对索引患者的同胞进行有限静脉肾盂造影的常规筛查,以便在并发症出现之前检测出重复尿路。
