Kennerknecht等人[Kennerknecht et al.(2008); Am J Med Genet Part A 146 A]估计1.9%的中国人口是遗传性面容失认症。我讨论了他们的假设,即绝大多数由发育问题引起的面孔失认症是可遗传的,并从我的实验室提供的数据表明,相当一部分发育面孔失认症患者没有亲属分享他们的面部识别缺陷。
Kennerknecht et al.[Kennerknecht et al.(2008); Am J Med Genet Part A 146A] estimate that 1.9% of the Chinese population are hereditary prosopagnosics. I discuss concerns about their assumption that the great majority of prosopagnosia resulting from developmental problems are heritable and present data from my laboratory that suggests that a considerable proportion of developmental prosopagnosics do not have relatives who share their face recognition deficits.© 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
