A total of 105 sibships with one or more members affected by CNS malformations have been drawn from the Mendel Institute's Eugenic Counseling file and examined. The mode of inheritance and the variability of segregation have been verified according to the presence or absence of spina bifida occulta in one or both parents.

The results obtained lead the authors to suggest that the expression of major genes responsible for the pathology be conditioned by minor genes responsible for localization.
