The inheritance of three lymph protein fractions separable by starch-plate electrophoresis has been studied. Each fraction is under the control of a separate gene, the dominant allele determining its presence and the recessive its absence.

The gene for the fastest fraction is sex-linked, whilst those for the other two are autosomal and linked.
