Genetic and educational assortative mating among US adults.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 3 Jun 2014

Domingue Benjamin W, Fletcher Jason, Conley Dalton, Boardman Jason D

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the social and biological mechanisms that lead to homogamy (similar individuals marrying one another) has been a long-standing issue across many fields of scientific inquiry. Using a nationally representative sample of non-Hispanic white US adults from the Health and Retirement Study and information from 1.7 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms, we compare genetic similarity among married couples...
