Structured mating: Patterns and implications.

PLoS genetics - 1 Apr 2017

Sebro Ronnie, Peloso Gina M, Dupuis Josée, Risch Neil J

Abstract excerpt

Genetic similarity of spouses can reflect factors influencing mate choice, such as physical/behavioral characteristics, and patterns of social endogamy. Spouse correlations for both genetic ancestry and measured traits may impact genotype distributions (Hardy Weinberg and linkage equilibrium), and therefore genetic association studies. Here we evaluate white spouse-pairs from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS)...
