Ueber einfache Rezessivität bei Mikrocephalia vera, spuria et combinata und das herdweise Vorkommen der Mikrocephalia vera in Schweizer Isolaten

Abstract

According to the results found in literature Microcephaly — better Micrencephaly — is a syndrom with a very heterogenous pathogenesis which often remains unclarified. Its etiology, though occasionally purely exogenous, seems to be mostly hereditary in the sense of monomeric recessivity, as the experiences, so far rather scanty, of research in families and in twins show.
