The authors provide the data of examination of 93 children aged 2 to 15 years and their 67 parents with regard to familial predisposition to the hyperpepsinogenemic form of duodenal ulcer. It has been established that the content of uropepsinogen was appreciably heightened only in those children in whom one of the parents of the opposite sex as regards the child's sex had hyperpepsinogenemic duodenal ulcer. The problems of hyperpepsinogenuria inheritance couple with sex are discussed.
