The type of heredity was established on the basis of genetical evidence and the clinical picture. In bullous epidermolysis cases autosomal recessive heredity was detected in two families with congenital bullous epidermolysis, and autosomal heredity in two families with dystrophic bullous epidermolysis. The HLA-Aw 24, B5 combination, which was thought to be significant in epidermolysis bullosa, was found in one, B5 alone in two, out of the four families. In congenital ichthyosis autosomal recessive heredity was detected in two families out of five. In one, X-linked recessive heredity was found, and in two families X-linked recessive heredity could be supposed. In three families out of the five with congenital ichthyosis, the A2, B18 antigen combination was found. In a family where two infants died from the most severe form of ichthyosis, epidermolysis and psoriasis also occurred. In this family two grandfathers were brothers, and one of the two was a carrier of the Aw24, B5 combination. In the case of ectodermal dysplasia, in one out of four families X-linked recessive heredity, in another autosomal recessive heredity was detected. In two families X-linked recessive heredity could be supposed as only the male children were affected and also on the basis of data in the literature.

Employing the criterion of obesity based upon BW-HT above 120%, a number of heavy but not fatty subjects (mainly boys) were included as obese, and three of the girls studied were fatty but not overweight. Conversely, if we calculate FM using the regression equation based on BW and HT, and the criterion of obesity based upon body fat percent, the incidence of obesity could be underestimated. The best results were given by regression equations which include BW, HT and two skinfolds (triceps and subscapular). Though the usefulness of BW and HT in nutritional assessment is not discussed, the diagnostic limitations of these measurements used alone or in combination are evident and therefore it is necessary to include skinfold measurements if we wish to obtain a correct diagnosis of obesity.</p>","PeriodicalId":75405,"journal":{"name":"Acta paediatrica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae","volume":"23 4","pages":"381-90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18184183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
