Demographic correlates of paternity confidence and pregnancy outcomes among Albuquerque men.

TLDR
Using self-reported data on paternity confidence in 3,360 pregnancies reported by men living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, it is found that low paternity confidence is more common among unmarried couples and for unplanned pregnancies, and that men are more likely not to state paternity confidence if a pregnancy is unplanned.

Surnames and the Y chromosome.

TLDR
A randomly ascertained sample of males with the surname "Sykes" was typed with four Y-chromosome microsatellites, which points to a single surname founder for extant Sykes males, even though written sources had predicted multiple origins.

Estimating the influence of body mass index (BMI) on mortality using offspring BMI as an instrumental variable

TLDR
Analyses using offspring BMI as a proxy for parental BMI suggest that the apparent adverse consequences of low BMI are considerably overestimated and adverse consequencesof overweight are underestimated in conventional epidemiological studies.

Testosterone‐dependent facial and body traits predict men's sociosexual attitudes and behaviors

This work investigated the relationship of muscle mass and facial masculinity with attitudes and behaviors reflecting ST and LT mating tactics and considered condition‐dependent traits reflecting the effects of testosterone.

Association between parental autoimmune disease and atopic dermatitis in their offspring: a matched case–control study

TLDR
A large number of patients with atopic dermatitis in their children have parents who have suffered from atopic disease themselves, and the associations between this disease and their parents' autoimmune diseases are unknown.

Genetic Diagnosis of Renal Diseases: Basic Concepts and Testing

TLDR
The overarching goals for this chapter were to first convince clinicians “already overloaded with information” that learning about genomics is a worthwhile investment that will pay dividends in the short-term, while at the same time providing an accessible port of entry into this complex field.

Identification of the cystic fibrosis gene: genetic analysis.

TLDR
Extended haplotype data based on DNA markers closely linked to the putative disease gene locus suggest that the remainder of the cystic fibrosis mutant gene pool consists of multiple, different mutations.

Mismatches in genetic markers in a large family study.

TLDR
Investigation of the frequency and implications of non-agreement, or mismatches, between observed and expected genetic marker phenotypes of husbands, wives, and children suggested that approximately 2.3% of the 2,839 tested children from these families were probably the result of infidelity, concealed adoption, or another event.

The cystic fibrosis gene: medical and social implications for heterozygote detection.

TLDR
Implementation of population screening should be delayed until pilot studies that demonstrate its safety and effectiveness are completed, and preconception testing should be offered to adult relatives of cystic fibrosis patients as part of a comprehensive program following institutional review board approval.
