✦ Synopsis

One of us (D.J.A.) read with great interest Best's recent report on familial posterior helical ear pits (PHEP) and Wiedemann-Beckwith syndrome (WBS) [Best, 19911; we commend his meticulous observations and descriptions.

Best notes, "Except for assertions by Wiedemann [1973], there have been no other reports of normal individuals (without family ties with WBS cases) with PHEP," thereby suggesting that Best's family IV would be the first reported instance of familial PHEP not associated with WBS. However, Curry and Arabian [19891 observed minor anomalies of the posterior aspect of the pinnae in 4 parentkhild pairs, including 1 pair with PHEP. We wish to add a third such report:
