We describe the occurrence of Mahaim syndrome in a mother and her son. The occurrence of such a rare disorder in two members of a family is noteworthy, has not been reported before, and suggests the possibility of genetic transmission. A genetic transmission of supraventricular tachycardia has been described only in rare cases for the Wolff‐Parkinson‐White syndrome. No such data is available for the Mahaim syndrome.
