Genetic inheritance of body mass index in African-American and African families.

Genetic epidemiology - 1 Apr 2000

Colilla S, Rotimi C, Cooper R, Goldberg J, Cox N

Abstract excerpt

Numerous studies have shown recessive major gene inheritance of body mass index (BMI) in white populations; few have examined the inheritance of BMI in the African-American population where obesity is more prevalent, nor in African populations where obesity is comparatively rare. To evaluate the inheritance of obesity in two different populations of African origin, we used segregation analysis to determine the...
