| Description |
In 1915, Taylor described a hereditary condition characterized by ""progressive vagus-glossopharyngeal paralysis with ptosis,"" stating that the disorder progressed slowly and eventually caused death by starvation. Subsequently, Victor et al. called the syndrome ""oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy"" (OPMD). Many affected families are of French-Canadian heritage. OPMD is generally inherited as an autosomal-dominant trait, but rare autosomal-recessive cases have been reported. |
