Supravalvular aortic stenosis in a twin.

G Neilson, K F Hossack
PMCID: PMC483547  PMID: 708522

Abstract

A case of subvalvular aortic stenosis in one of a set of dissimilar twins is reported. The case is discussed in terms of the aetiological factors involved and supports the view that supravalvular aortic stenosis is not environmental and may be genetic in origin.
