Height associated variants demonstrate assortative mating in human populations.

Scientific reports - 16 Nov 2017

Li Xiaoyin, Redline Susan, Zhang Xiang, Williams Scott, Zhu Xiaofeng

Abstract excerpt

Understanding human mating patterns, which can affect population genetic structure, is important for correctly modeling populations and performing genetic association studies. Prior studies of assortative mating in humans focused on trait similarity among spouses and relatives via phenotypic correlations. Limited research has quantified the genetic consequences of assortative mating. The degree to which the...
