title: A kinship analysis of asthma among the Hutterites.
abstract: A formal kinship analysis of asthma in a large Hutterite kindred indicates that cases are significantly more related to one another than are age matched controls. The higher kinship coefficient is shown to be due to an increased probability of the condensed identity state delta 8 which, in turn, is shown to be due to an increased probability of detailed identity state delta 10.
