Both patients and the control group came from French-Canadian families.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/img_1533_2_800x533.jpg?itok=vcmoV1sw" width="160" height="107" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">31 </span><span class="month">October </span><span class="year">2016</span></div></div></div></div></div> Mon, 31 Oct 2016 14:20:51 +0000 webfull 122589 at /channels
