Cultural and biological inheritance of plasma lipids
A path analytic model for the analysis of nuclear family data is described and used to analyze the results of two major studies of cholesterol (CH) and triglyceride (TG), the Honolulu Heart Study (HHS) of Japanese–Americans and the Cincinnati Lipid Research Clinic (LRC) study of Caucasians. The studies were first analyzed separately to assess evidence for genetic and cultural transmission, marital resemblance, and maternal environmental effects f…
Race, height, and blood pressure in northeastern Brazil
In this admixed population with no significant confounding of race and environment, there is an increase of blood pressure with Negro ancestry. There appears to be a direct effect of race on blood pressure in addition to an indirect effect through height
Hereditary genius
Galton believed that his data on hereditary genius support purely genetic inheritance. On the contrary, analysis under a simple model shows no clear resolution of genetic and cultural inheritance in this material, or generally, unless adoptive relations, monozygous twins, and/or environmental indices are included in a design adequate to test the assumptions under which they are informative
Diseases determined by major genes
Tharae rise of genetic epidemiology, its development from inspection of data to analysis of major loci, applications to recurrence risks, and the countercurrent of ideological opposition are described
Behavioral, social, and physiological determinants of lipoprotein concentrations
The Lipoprotein Family Study of Japanese‐Americans in Hawaii is described. Measured effects of the behavioral, social, and physiological milieu (apart from age and sex) account for little of the variance. Subsequent papers will consider the genetic and cultural causes of family resemblance in this material
Academic performance in Hawaii
Differences among census tracts in academic performance are estimated and related by path analysis to social class, race, and school characteristics in the only American state without local autonomous school districts. Contrary to the Coleman Report, school has a significant effect and race does not, but social class is the major cause of census tract difference in academic performance. Without appropriate data on family resemblance, a genetic co…
Analysis of family resemblance and group differences
Immunoglobulins in the Eastern Carolines
Serum samples from Micronesian populations on the Pingelap, Mokil, Ponape and Kusaie islands were tested for the immunoglobulin G (IgG) allotypes, Gm (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 13, 14, 21), and for Inv (1). All four populations have the Gm phenogroups, Gm 1,21 , Gm 1,2,21 , Gm 1,3,5,13,14 , and Gm 1,5,6 . The Ponapeans have Gm 1,5,13,14 also. Pedigree analysis shows that the Gm 1,5,6 phenogroup in the Pingelap and Mokil populations is derived from the singl…
Population genetics and disease control
Clans as Genetic Barriers1
Intermarrying clans represent negligible genetic barriers, which may well be ignored in modeling human population structure. Sections and circulating connubia also have little effect on the mean coefficient of kinship between random individuals, but have larger effects on the coefficient of inbreeding, which in extreme cases may be nearly twice as great as in the absence of a prescribed marriage system. The use of exchange matrices to infer genet…
