Abstract
The syndrome of torticollis, keloids, cryptorchidism and renal dysplasia was described by Goeminne (1968) in a large family, and listed as X-linked incomplete dominant by McKusick (1978; No. 31430). We mapped the locus on the long arm of the X chromosome at band q28 and distal to the G6PD locus. This was achieved by the chance discovery in the literature that two females, each with a balanced X/autosome translocation involving Xq28, had partial manifestation of the syndrome as was the case with the females in the larger family of Goeminne (1968).
