Segregation analysis on 228 family pedigrees collected from a Papua New Guinean population provided data that strongly supported a previous report of an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance of a susceptibility to tinea imbricata. The frequency of the susceptibility gene within the population studied was found to be 0.49 +/- 0.04, calculated on the assumption of an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. However, in spite of the strong evidence in support of autosomal recessive inheritance, the possibility of autosomal dominant inheritance with reduced penetrance cannot be excluded.
对从巴布亚新几内亚人群收集的228个家族谱系进行的分离分析提供的数据有力地支持了先前关于叠瓦癣易感性常染色体隐性遗传模式的报告。在所研究的人群中，假设为常染色体隐性遗传模式计算得出，易感性基因的频率为0.49±0.04。然而，尽管有强有力的证据支持常染色体隐性遗传，但不能排除具有降低外显率的常染色体显性遗传的可能性。
