Ear malformations occur per se or together with other congenital anomalies. Many syndromes with ear malformations were described. Propositi with hemifacial microsomia (HFM) or Goldenhar syndrome (GS), also called oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia (OAV) were studied. In addition to ear malformations some individuals may have a small and or malformed mandible, epibulbar or conjunctival lipodermoids and anomalies of the cervical spine. Other malformations may also be seen. At present, the cause of these disorders is unclear. Pedigree data is presented on 97 propositi, 44 of whom had a family history of the same or similar anomaly. First-degree relatives were most often affected (35/433, 8%). Of 176 sibs tabulated, 11 (6%) were considered affected. The pattern of occurrence in many families suggested multifactorial determination, although other interpretations are possible. The occurrence of differing anomalies within a family suggests that the disorders consistute a single entity. The most frequent anomaly was a mild ear malformation (preauricular node or tag). This suggests a broad phenotypic spectrum. These data are useful for purposes of genetic counseling.
