[Clinico-genetic characteristics of hereditary nephritis in different populations]

Some data are presented on the clinical features of a course of hereditary nephritis in persons of 13 nationalities residing in the central zone of the RSFSR, in Central Asia and East Slovakia (the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic). At least 2 types of hereditary nephritis transmission (the dominant x-chromosome-linked one was more common than the autosomal-dominant one) not differing in their clinical course were revealed. Basing on a study of the clinical features of a course of disease in 123 autobred and 52 inbred families a more severe course of nephritis was observed in children from the inbred families.
