title: Formal genetics of isoniazid metabolism in man.
abstract: Complex segregation analysis of the isoniazid inactivator phenotype has shown the existence of a recessive gene and a multifactorial background. The phenotype is also influenced by age, sex and weight. The relevance of these findings to the grouping of individuals into slow and rapid inactivators is stressed.
