Key result
Susceptibility to poliomyelitis is inherited as a recessive genetic trait based on an analysis of fifty pedigrees.
This 1957 study evaluated the recessive inheritance pattern of susceptibility to poliomyelitis across fifty pedigrees.
Historical pedigree data offer no guidance for polio vaccination; leaves open genetic susceptibility to enteroviruses in unvaccinated populations.
