Abstract excerpt

Obesity is a heritable trait and a major risk factor for highly prevalent common diseases such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Previously we showed that BMI was positively correlated with African ancestry among the African Americans (AAs) in the US National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Family Blood Pressure Program (FBPP). In a set of 1,344 unrelated AAs, using Individual Ancestry (IA) estimates at 284...
