PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Over 10% of patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax report a positive family history of the disease. While some cases can be attributed to rare inherited connective tissue diseases, several families with familial spontaneous pneumothorax have been described that do not show clinical evidence of these monogenic disorders. Until recently the molecular underpinning of this disease was...
