The Finno-Ugrian suicide hypothesis proposes to link genetic ties originating among Finno-Ugric cultures and ethnicities to high rate of suicide, claiming an allele common among them is responsible. Mari and Udmurts have been found to have a three times higher suicide rate than Finns and Hungarians. It has been thus theorized that such a possible allele may have arisen in those populations. However, contrary to the hypothesis, available contemporary (1990-1994) suicide rates were uniformly negatively associated with these ancestry proportions. The findings of this first test outside Europe are therefore conflicting. A proposal based on the geographical study approach is offered to further the progress of investigations into the genetics of suicide.〔http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17165419〕 ==See also== * Finno-Ugric peoples * Human genetic variation * Finnish heritage disease * Gloomy Sunday * List of countries by suicide rate 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Finno-Ugrian suicide hypothesis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
