Racial differences in birth health risk: a quantitative genetic approach.
A study was conducted to examine racial differences in birth health risk. Data were gathered from a sample of 9,360 children born to 4,415 mothers in 1992, using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The results reveal that racial differences increased with the magnitude of the shared environ...

Data were gathered from a sample of 9,360 children born to 4,415 mothers in 1992, using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The results reveal that racial differences increased with the magnitude of the shared environmental effects. The findings indicate that possible genetic effects would not relate to fetal genes, in spite of the fact that genes affecting the mother's physical or physiological characteristics could be important, given that they contribute to shared environment. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
