In a recent examination of the kindreds of 60 patients with a systolic non-ejection-click or click-murmur-syndrome we were able to demonstrate that the findings in 36 kindreds are inherited, although in most of the families not all the members could be seen. This means about 60%, a quote that might be even higher if all the members of a kindred could have been examined. Our observation suggests an autosomal dominant inheritance. This makes it worth while to look for the genetic defect causing this finding.
