The Geographic Distribution of Genetic Risk as Compared to Social Risk for Chronic Diseases in the United States.

Biodemography and social biology - 1 Jan 2016

Rehkopf David H, Domingue Benjamin W, Cullen Mark R

Abstract excerpt

There is an association between chronic disease and geography, and there is evidence that the environment plays a critical role in this relationship. Yet at the same time, there is known to be substantial geographic variation by ancestry across the United States. Resulting geographic genetic variation-that is, the extent to which single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to chronic disease vary...
