X-linked steroid sulfatase: evidence for different gene-dosage in males and females.

abstract：:A simple routine method for detecting individuals who are heterozygous for the silent gene Gt 0 is presented. This method consists of a combination of electrophoresis and densitometry. The results confirm the theoretical expectation that these individuals would exhibit about 50% of the enzyme activity found in the cor...
