- ArticleRott HD, Warnatz H, Pasch-Hilgers R, Weikl A.Hum Genet. 1978 Jul 12;43(1):1-11.In a sibship of ten children descending from a first cousin's marriage, two sibs were affected by Kartagener's syndrome with the typical symptoms of situs inversus, bronchiectasis, and polyposis nasi. Clinical investigation of the entire family revealed chronic infections of the paranasal sinus in five sibs and the mother, two of whom had bronchiectasis as well. Immunologically, a persistent cellular or humoral defect could not be detected in any of the family members. In the HLA system, only the two sibs with Kartagener's syndrome had identical HLA-types; all other family members had different combinations. A linkage between the loci for the HLA system and Kartagener's syndrome is discussed.
