Analysis in a large hyperkalemic periodic paralysis pedigree supports tight linkage to a sodium channel locus.

abstract：:A model is considered to calculate effects of genetic drift on the expected proportion of new mutants amongst males affected by a sex-linked recessive lethal. We show how to relate the number of cases of the disorder in males to the expected deviations from the deterministic value of the proportion of new mutants. For...
