Autosomal dominantly inherited adductor laryngeal paralysis ‐ a new syndrome with a suggestion of linkage to HLA

Abstract
A family is reported with autosomal dominantly inherited congenital bilateral adductor paralysis of the larynx. This disorder evidently was not previously described. A search for linkage in this family with the loci for 19 other genetic markers showed linkage with HLA and GLO [glyoxylase]. The locus for this disorder is apparently on chromosome 6.
