Genetic variants determining survival and fertility in an adverse African environment: a population-based large-scale candidate gene association study
Human survival probability and fertility decline strongly with age. These life history traits have been shaped by evolution. However, research has failed to uncover a consistent genetic determination of variation in survival and fertility. As an explanation, such genetic determinants have been selec...
