Sister‐sister, brother‐brother and sister‐brother similarities in both tibial length and stature from one month through 10 years are in accord with the hypothesis of partial X‐linkage, they reject the hypothesis of selective inactivation of an X chromosome, and they indicate that the complex that is body length is suited to simplistic analysis.
