Inheritance of hairy pinna of the ear

Journal of Genetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Six new pedigrees on the inheritance of hairy ear rims have been presented, which support the view that it is Y-linked. Two hypotheses as to the number of genes responsible for this trail have been put forward to explain the different degrees of hairiness, and also the differential age of onset and the increase in frequency with age.
