RESEARCH DIVERSITY
The Journal of Human Genetics (JHG) presents fine articles and reviews on various aspects of human genetics. We are proud of publishing the first genome-wide association study on anorexia nervosa, review and article on recent progress in asthma genetics, articles on new associations with schizophrenia, hair thickness etc., and also on mt DNA or earwax polymorphisms in ancestral Japanese and Amerindian.
