摘要
This study comprised 544 nuclear families with 2,935 individuals tested for the Mitsuda reaction, from the Campinas region in Brazil. Segregation analyses suggest the segregation of a major gene (chi(1)(2) = 0.07 - 0.07 = 0, p = 1), by failing to reject the hypothesis of Mendelian transmission and by rejecting the hypothesis of nontransmission of a major gene (chi(3)(2) = 0.07 - 0.0 = 0.07, p > 0.99; chi(2)(2) = 198.28 - 0.0 = 198.28, p < 0.0001).
