Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

During an investigation of cousin marriages in Iceland, five brothers and sisters were found homozygous for the 'silent' plasma cholinesterase gene. Clinical information on two family members is presented and discussed. Possibility of the presence of 'nearly silent' plasma esterase gene in one of the family units investigated is suggested.
