title: Immunological studies of families segregating the silent gene for plasma cholinesterase.
abstract: Seven families segregating apparently silent gene homozygotes have been investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. These families confirm not only the heterogeneity of the silent gene in the form of E1s and E1t but in 3 families there is support for the segregation of the new gene E1x.
