## Abstract In the absence of an unambiguous test for identifying Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) heterozygotes, methods are needed for combination of the results of individually equivocal tests as effectively and rationally as possible. We used logistic discrimination to assess the effectiveness

The serum activity of creatine kinase (CK) and pyruvate kinase (PK) was measured in 98 pairs of same-sex Brazilian twins. The purpose of this study was to estimate the genetic and environmental components of serum activity levels for both enzymes. Heritabilities were estimated separately by path ana
Carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII) and creatine kinase (CK) were measured in plasma samples from a series of females at-risk as carriers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and compared with control groups. Both plasma CAIII and CK levels were raised in a proportion of carriers. Although measurement of CAIII
