Case report of Zenker's diverticulum in identical twins: further evidence for genetic predisposition
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 January 2010
Abstract
We report identical twins with Zenker's diverticulum.
Case report and literature review.
Geographical and racial variation in occurrence, and rare familial cases, suggest that inherited factors play a role in the pathogenesis of Zenker's diverticulum. The identical twins reported here provide further evidence supporting a genetic predisposition.
