Abstract excerpt

A general algorithm is described to calculate the probability of monozygosity of concordant twins on the basis of blood type tests. Frequencies of all combinations of twins and parents are created with the aid of a translational matrix which facilitates conversion of genotypes to phenotypes autom...
