“…Spinner et al (1968) and Nothiger (1967) have suggested that the inheritance is by an autosomal recessive gene. Moreover, both two and three generation transmission of Addison's disease has been observed (Bamatter et al 1966;Nothiger 1967;DeCock et al 1957;Toccafondi and Borghi 1962;Gambaro 1962). In addition, the disorder has also been reported transmitted through an unaffected male (DeCock et al 1957).…”
