Abstract
Ataxia, a degenerative disorder involving the brain stem, appears to have arisen by a mutation, and is transmitted as a simple mendelizing unit. By crossing it can be introduced into unrelated and unaffected families to become manifest in subsequent generations. Likewise it can be eliminated by proper breeding tests accompanied by selection of those segregates which are free from the defect, for establishment of a new line.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
