Instituto de Antropologia, Universidade do Porto, Portugal.

The formal genetics of esterase D (EC 3.1.1.1) was studied in family data and mother/child pairs. A general agreement with mendelian expectations was found. However, a significant sex-phenotype association was detected in families from northwestern Portugal as well as in mother/child pairs and family data from southwestern Germany.
