Hereditary quivering of the chin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 1930 Frey described an unusual involuntary movement of the muscles of the chin, inherited as a dominant characteristic through five generations. Ganner (1938) described a similar family, and in discussion Westphal (1938) mentioned a family in whom this trait could be followed through six generations. Grossman (1957) and Wadlington (1958) reported smaller affected families, and Ford (1960) mentioned that he had encountered the condition. There appears to be no description of its occurrence in Great Britain and the purpose of this paper is to record two such families and to emphasize the benign nature of what at first sight may appear an alarming symptom.
