Abstract
Comparing the size of the permanent teeth in like-sexed and unlike -sexed siblings, it is clear that sister-sister correlations (averaging 0.64) exceed brother-brother correlations (averaging 0.38), and that in turn exceed sister-brother correlations (mean r = 0.21), all suggestive of X-chromosomal involvement.Keywords
