We build a model where investments in human capital depend on the state of an individual’s social network. We show that correlation patterns between parents’ and children’s human capital investment and income depend on the structure of their social network. Heavier reliance on the social network increases the correlation of human capital investments and income across generations and decreases t...

-We present two cases of autosomal dominant limb girdle muscular dystrophy in a father and son. Both presented in childhood with a classical Becker muscular dystrophy phenotype. The father had initially been informed that he would not have affected children. After the diagnosis of muscular dystrophy in the son, immunoblot analysis was performed on muscle and revealed normal dystrophin. The poly...

Grouped pigmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium was found in a father and his son. They had a normal resting potential on the electro-oculogram, but the son had a lower normal light rise. We believe this is the first description of familial grouped pigmentation.

OBJECTIVES To report a novel SOX2 (OMIM 184429) mutation in a Chinese family and to describe its ocular and extraocular clinical features. METHODS Ocular and systemic examinations were performed, and genomic DNA was prepared from peripheral leukocytes. The coding exons and the adjacent intronic sequence of SOX2 were analyzed by cycle sequencing. RESULTS A novel heterozygous c.695C>A (p.Thr2...

The Laius complex is the father's complex of fear of the son as a potential rival in his own prerogatives. I t is considered more fundamental than the Freudian Oedipus complex which describes the son's rivalry with his father, founded on the son's sexual desire for his mother. Laius is the father of Oedipus. Graber3 holds that the original guilt rests with Laius (12, p. 17f.). Since Laius wante...

Kinship testing of a father and his son from Guangxi, China, the location of the Zhuang minority people, was performed using the PowerPlex® 18D System with a short tandem repeat typing kit. The results indicated that both the father and his son had an off-ladder allele at the Penta D locus, with a genetic size larger than that of the maximal standard allelic ladder. To further identify this loc...

The father-son dyad might be the most socially significant male-male relationship in the life course, yet its negative qualities have been the sole focus in most research on the relationship. One communicative aspect that has received little scholarly attention is the expression of affection between fathers and sons, despite the strong correlation of affectionate communication with positive inv...

I WOULD like to interest you for a short time tonight in the lives of two men father and son. Their combined lives spanned last century the father was born in 1800 and the son died in 1901. The father's work was for the most part done in Belfast whilst the most fruitful period of the son's life was spent in London so in some ways it is a 'Tale of Two Cities'. The father was a physician, the son...
