“…Differential diagnosis poses the problem of diagnosing bilateral renal masses in the newborn [ 14]; this is achieved via the genetic history, clinical and laboratory features, ra diography and echography. This is a dominant disease with high pen etrance that may be detected in utero by echography [ 17] and possibly, in the near future, by means of specific probes since the locus of the disease is closely linked with the alpha-globulin gene on the short arm of chro mosome 16 [27],…”

This paper outlines the problem of major malformations of the urinary tract, their frequency and their etiology. It is based on data analysis of 900 neonatal autopsies performed in our center from 1978 to 1987. These major malformations are often lethal and they can essentially be separated into disorders of the kidney and malformations of the lower urinary tract. Single-gene disorders are often seen in the former whereas the second group is more likely to be multifactorially controlled. We do insist on the importance of a strict collaboration between pathologists and geneticists.
