Abstract excerpt

A bivariate genetic analysis, utilizing variance decomposition techniques based on maximum likelihood methods, was undertaken to examine the genetic and environmental correlations among eight skinfolds in a large pedigreed sample of Mexican Americans from San Antonio, Texas. The resulting correlation coefficients reveal significant values for both the genetic and environmental components among the traits...
