Colloquium papers: Heritability of reproductive fitness traits in a human population.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 26 Jan 2010

Kosova Gülüm, Abney Mark, Ober Carole

Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis of fitness traits has been studied widely in animals, yet the contribution of genetic variation to these traits in humans is controversial. In particular, it is difficult to disentangle genetic versus environmental effects on fertility, because of within-family correlations of sociocultural, economic, and other nongenetic factors that influence family sizes. In this study, we investigated the...
