Abstract excerpt

Data on leprosy patients have been obtained from the Dispensary of Leprosy of Campinas, São Paulo, where records on practically all cases of leprosy in the Campinas area during the period 1960-70 are filed. The whole sample comprises 10,886 individuals, distributed among 1,568 families. Complex segregation analysis was utilized to determine the nature of the genetic factors that may operate on leprosy and its...
