Abstract excerpt
A relationship between heterozygosity of 6 biochemical loci and variability of 4 anthropometric traits at birth has been studied in 304 boys and girls from Moscow population. All 4 traits in boys are positively correlated with the number of loci for which they are heterozygous. The values of all the traits in girls are highest in homozygous individuals. In order to reduce the number of variables the principal...
