Genetic explanations

The descendants of slaves, along with many other minorities in the United States, have had an historical, and to some extent continuing, experience of oppression and discrimination. The scientific and medical professions participated in that experience. The "scientific racism" of the nineteenth century predated the (re)discovery of genetics in 1900 one could date it at least to Linnaeus eighteenth-century classification of humans into four subspecies with its assignment of superiority to his own European subspecies. When the science of genetics arrived with the twentieth century, genetic explanations were quickly advanced for the perceived inferiority of minorities. 

T6th (1978) proposed an analysing technique for the quantitative assessment of cross-formational gravity-induced groundwater flow systems and the genetic explanation of the identified systems, based on the integrated interpretation of the following five pressure-related parameters ...

Gros I still think this number is very high. There could be non-genetic explanations for this. You could have a retrovirus popping up that has a tropism for a particular population of cells that will cause a given phenotype. 

Vein-like deposits were described as uranium deposits of uncertain genesis by Mathews etal Except for a small number of these deposits in sedimentary rocks, the group is subdivided into unconformity-related deposits and deposits of metamorphic rocks. In a more genetic classification of the major (Proterozoic) vein-like deposits of the world, Dahlkamp and Adams deciphered the relationship of diagcncsis, metamorphism, metasomatism and weathering on uranium concentrations in various host rocks. The result is a logical genetic explanation for the spectrum of vein-like deposits observed today. 

Hepatic sarcoidosis is more than twice as common in African Americans compared to Caucasians (28,59,63). It is more likely that sibling pairs with sarcoidosis will both have liver involvement than two unrelated sarcoidosis patients (64), which suggests that there may be a genetic explanation for this phenotype. There is no increased prevalence based on gender or age (28,63). No geographic area of high prevalence has been identified.
