The main objective of this study was to search for a major gene controlling total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, an intermediate phenotype for asthma and allergy. We studied 335 French nuclear families of the EGEA study (Epidemiological study of the Genetics and Environment of Asthma), ascerta

Familial correlation analysis involving two traits may give a better insight into the etiology of multifactorial syndromes than familial analysis focused on single traits. Significant cross-trait correlations between biological relatives but not between spouses suggest that the two traits share comm
Data on 40 anthropometric measurements from 144 nuclear families in Chandigarh, India, are presented. Most families contain a pair of monozygotic or dizygotic twins, one or more singleton siblings, and their parents. Familial correlations for age-sex standardized, normalized measurements are estimat
The inheritance of palmar pattern ridge counts for individual palmar areas, combined distal areas, and all ten areas combined was investigated in families belonging to two strictly endogamous Brahmin castes of peninsular India. Ridge count phenotypes were obtained by the method proposed by Malhotra
## Abstract Little is known about genetic influences on the volume of subcortical brain structures in adult humans, particularly whether there is regional specificity of genetic effects. Understanding patterns of genetic covariation among volumes of subcortical structures may provide insight into t
