Abstract

In this short communication we (1) show that, despite the rarity of autosomal recessive inheritance, primary congenital hydrocephalus in a girl stemming from father-daughter incest is most likely due to the incestuous union of her parents, and (2) reflect on the question, among others, whether actual genetic work-up to support victim indemnification is ever in the interest of the child.
