The most frequent autosomal dominant disorders were: neurofibromatosis, pigmentary degeneration of retina, hypochondroplasia, ichtiosis, idiopathic scoliosis. The most frequent among the autosomal recessive disorders were: oligophrenia, pigmentary degeneration of retina, muscular atrophy of juvenile Kugelberg--Welander type, congenital cataract.
