Study of genetic variance in the fluctuating asymmetry of anthropometrical traits.

Annals of human biology - 1 Jan 2000

Livshits G, Kobyliansky E

Abstract excerpt

We have studied the fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of 8 bilateral morphometric traits in two-parent families, comprising 216 families with one newborn baby, and 60 families with two children (age range 5-18 years). Heritability was assessed by: (1) multiple regression analyses of the children's measurements on the mother's and father's measurements; (2) midparent-child regressions; and (3) sibling correlations. The...
