Some materials on the genetics of mucoviscidosis.

The purpose of the present work was to study the type of 
inheritance involved in mucoviscidosis. Analysis of the genetic relations in mucoviscidosis 
performed on 26 families bears witness to a monomeric autosomal mechanism 
of transmission of the character. In contrast to other recessive diseases, 
parental consanguinity plays a secondary role in mucoviscidosis, which apparently is 
explained by the wide distribution of the mucoviscidosis gene among the 
population. The observations described may be utilized in medicogenetic consultations given 
to members of those families where there are children suffering from 
mucoviscidosis.
