Abstract
A significant association with asymptomatic joint hypermobility was observed in 37 children with a history of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (P =.0016) and their parents (mothers, P <.0001; fathers, P <.05). The subjects with articular hypermobility showed an increased frequency of absent mandibular frenulum, thereby suggesting the presence of a previously unrecognized, systemic abnormality of the extracellular matrix.
