Abstract
Authors� conclusions: Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in Danish children shows strong familial aggregation (relative risk in siblings is 18.5) and heritability (87%). Reviewers� commentary: Thanks to specific databases, familial aggregation of pyloric stenosis has been determined more accurately. The high rate ratios in relatives of probands have to be taken into account when evaluating a patient with a history of familial pyloric stenosis and vomits.
