Testing a single dominant gene theory without an accepted criterion variable.

Abstract

In testing a single dominant gene hypothesis we often are not able directly to measure the inherited trait. A typical situation is one where we only have one or more fallible indicators of the trait under study. The statistical method proposed requires that we have measurements on several such indicators for each of the parents of probands known to possess the trait.

Familial motor neuron disease with Lewy body-like inclusions in the substantia nigra, the subthalamic nucleus, and the globus pallidus.

In a familial case of motor neuron disease (MND), 2 unusual features were noted in the necropsy. The first was a pallidoluysonigral degeneration, observed in only 4 other cases of MND and which was here asymptomatic. The second was the presence in degenerated spinal cord anterior horns and in degenerated basal ganglia of neuronal Lewy body-like inclusions stained by antibodies against ubiquitin.
