Does class I MHC mediate programmed cell death in human lymphoid cells?
These studies provide the first evidence that class I MHC molecules mediate PCD in human T and B cells.
The challenge for social science genomics is the likelihood that genes are connected to behavioral variation by lengthy, nonlinear, interactive causal chains, and unraveling these chains requires allying with personal genomics to take advantage of the potential for large sample sizes as well as continuing with traditional epidemiological studies.
