Research on neighborhood effects draws suggestive links between local spatial environments and a range of social, economic, and public health outcomes. Here, we consider the potential role of genetics in the geography of social stratification in the United States using genomic data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. We find that those with genotypes related to higher educational attainment sort into neighborhoods that are better educated and have higher population densities, both descriptively and using formal school and sibling fixed-effects models. We identify four mechanisms through which this geographic sorting on genetic endowment can magnify social stratification: assortative mating, social-genetic effects, gene-by-environment interactions, and gene–by–social-genetic interactions. We examine the presence of the latter three in our data, finding provisional yet suggestive evidence for social-genetic effects that putatively amount to about one-third of the influence of one’s own genomic profile. We find no evidence, however, for the presence of interactions between environments and individual genetic background. Collectively, these findings highlight the potential for geographic sorting on genotype to emerge both as a key methodological concern in population genetics and social science research and also a potentially overlooked dimension of social stratification worthy of future study.

个人和社会基因组学对教育和邻里成就的贡献:美国的地理,选择和分层

对邻里效应的研究在当地空间环境与一系列社会,经济和公共卫生结果之间建立了暗示性联系。在这里,我们使用美国国家青少年纵向健康研究的基因组数据,研究遗传学在美国社会分层地理中的潜在作用。我们发现,具有描述性,使用正规学校和同级固定效应模型的那些具有与较高学历相关的基因型的人被归类为受教育程度较高且人口密度较高的社区。我们确定了四种机制,通过这种机制,遗传genetic赋的地理分类可以扩大社会分层:分类交配,社会遗传效应,基因与环境之间的相互作用以及基因与社会之间的相互作用。我们在数据中检查了后三个因素的存在,找到了社会遗传效应的临时但具有启发性的证据,这些证据合计约占自身基因组图谱影响的三分之一。但是,我们没有证据表明环境与个体遗传背景之间存在相互作用。总的来说,这些发现凸显了对基因型进行地理分类的潜力,这既可能成为人口遗传学和社会科学研究中的主要方法论问题,也可能成为值得未来研究的社会分层的潜在被忽视的方面。环境与个体遗传背景之间相互作用的存在。总的来说,这些发现凸显了对基因型进行地理分类的潜力,这既可能成为人口遗传学和社会科学研究中的主要方法论问题,也可能成为值得未来研究的社会分层的潜在被忽视的方面。环境与个体遗传背景之间相互作用的存在。总的来说,这些发现凸显了对基因型进行地理分类的潜力,这既可能成为人口遗传学和社会科学研究中的主要方法论问题,也可能成为值得未来研究的社会分层的潜在被忽视的方面。
