The authors applied clinico-genetic methods of analysis to work out the data concerning familial spread of hypermobility of the joints (567 inhabitants of Tbilisi, 302 children with congenital dislocation of the hip joint). A common genetic character of this pathology and congenital dislocation of the hip was established (88% of common genes). Approximate evaluations of relative contribution of the genetic component into the general dispersion (93%) and of the penetrance of the gene were obtained. A monogenous dominant type of inheritance was revealed.
