Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Individual-specific percent European ancestry was assessed in 1,277 African Americans. We found significant correlations between proportion of European ancestry and several musculoskeletal traits, indicating that admixture mapping may be a useful strategy for locating genes affecting these traits. INTRODUCTION: Genotype data for admixed populations can be used to detect chromosomal regions influencing...
