Abstract

The Kartagener syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by bronchiectasis, sinusitis, dextrocardia. We evaluated three cases with Kartagener’s syndrome who all have autosomal recessive inheritance. Chromosomal analysis was performed in only one case and revealed XX chromosome structure and normal G band. This syndrome has also been observed in the family of the same patient.
