Abstract
A study was made of the genetic behaviour of the factors Ag(x) and Ag(y) of the β-lipoproteins of human serum. It was found that these factors are controlled by a single pair of autosomal codominant genes with complete penetrance at birth. The gene frequencies were:
In dieser Arbeit wurden die Faktoren Ag(x) und Ag(y) der β-Lipoproteine des menschlichen Serums untersucht. Es ergab sich, daß die Faktoren durch ein Paar autosomal-kodominanter Gene mit vollständiger Penetranz kontrolliert weren.
Folgende Genhäufigkeiten wurden gefunden:
