| Abstract: | Summary Genetic heritability in this triracial population is 0.41 for systolic pressure in children, 0.14 for systolic pressure in adults, and 0.34 for diastolic pressure in both generations. Cultural inheritance is much smaller, and there is no evidence of maternal effects or major loci. |
