Abstract
An assay of G-6-PD activity was undertaken in a sample of 54 Brazilian Caucasoid twin pairs (14 MZ♂♂, 17 DZ ♂♂, 13 MZ ♀♀ and 10 DZ ♀♀) randomly collected. The data presented do not support either the hypothesis of genetic control of G-6-PD activity by isoalleles or other unknown genetic factors, or the Lyon hypothesis.Keywords
