Genetics of human body size and shape: pleiotropic and independent genetic determinants of adiposity.

Annals of human biology - 1 Jan 2000

Livshits G, Yakovenko K, Ginsburg E, Kobyliansky E

Abstract excerpt

The present study utilized pedigree data from three ethnically different populations of Kirghizstan, Turkmenia and Chuvasha. Principal component analysis was performed on a matrix of genetic correlations between 22 measures of adiposity, including skinfolds, circumferences and indices. Findings are summarized as follows: (1) All three genetic matrices were not positive definite and the first four factors retained...
