A segregation analysis on 135 Duchenne families from Venetia (Italy) suggests that the proportion of sporadic cases might be less than expected. Support for this view is also given by an analysis of a pooled sample including 284 additional sibships from comparable studies published previously. Sever

By a general survey in the hopitals of northeast Italy, Duchenne cases have been located and identified over a 20-year period. In a more restricted area screening for Duchenne carriers has been carried out in affected families. This procedure made possible an exact estimate of the incidence rate, pr

The incidence of electrocardiographic features "typical" for the Duchenne progressive muscular dystrophy (PMD) was investigated in 191 carriers: 136 mothers and 55 daughers. The typical PMD pattern was seen in 6.6% of the mothers, and a pattern similar to that observed in PMD in 2.9%. Among daughter
