Kennerknecht et al. [Kennerknecht et al. (2008); Am J Med Genet Part A 146A] estimate that 1.9% of the Chinese population are hereditary prosopagnosics. I discuss concerns about their assumption that the great majority of prosopagnosia resulting from developmental problems are heritable and present data from my laboratory that suggests that a considerable proportion of developmental prosopagnosics do not have relatives who share their face recognition deficits. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
