Study of 207 families in Great Britain and Ireland which included 334 affected individuals led to estimates of population frequency (0.000075), of gene frequency (0.008) and mutation rate (56 per million loci per generation). Recessive inheritance is confirmed. Highly assortative mating patterns in the deaf produce pedigrees with admixtures of other types of congenital deafness. Although the auditory and the thyroid lesion are both pleiotropic effects of the same abnormal gene (in homozygous condition), very wide variation in the severity of both lesions were found. Pendred's syndrome contributes a numerically important share of the congenitally deaf. The biochemical nature of the metabolic error, and the history of the syndrome are discussed. Data on 186 sibships and a 5 page bibliography are included.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
