Abstract
It is possible to identify three groups of characteristics which are under the control of genetic factors whose prevalences are shown in Table 1. The first group is that of monofactorial characteristics obeying Mendel’s laws. Mc Kusick recently collected 1364 known and 1447 probable examples in the latest edition of his catalogue published in 1978(Table 2) .1
