The cohort examined in this study consisted of 60 obligate carrier females, mean age 44.9 years (95% CI 41.01, 48.79). Data on disease manifestations obtained from the questionnaire were complete; however, as only one-third of these women were investigated, the frequencies of cardiac and renal abnormalities should be regarded as approximate.
