Abstract
- Unilateral renal agenesis associated with genito-urinary disease was found in 2 siblings of a single family. There are a few reports of familial unilateral renal agenesis. Bilateral renal agenesis is a fetal condition and unilateral renal agenesis or hypoplasia is usually asymptomatic, so investigations for renal anomalies have not been frequently undertaken in healthy members of families in which bilateral agenesis has occurred. The present report suggests that unilateral renal agenesis could occur as a manifestation of a genetic disorder.
