Adrenal Hormones and Disorders

Clark, Puite, Marczynski, and Mann (I962) determined the Xg groups of a series of families with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, living in the State of Michigan and in the northern part of Indiana.The results showed that the loci for the two genes involved were not close to each other on the X chromosome.Details of the families and the linkage calculations were given in a later paper by the same authors (I963).The present paper contributes more information and supports these earlier results.
