Abstract
The detection and estimation of the effects of human paternal and maternal age and birth rank on mutation rate are considered. Smith''s method and discriminant function techniques are compared using data on Apert''s acrocephalosyndactyly and achondroplasia.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
