Berliner's piece from the TC Record online makes good use of this sort of
evidence about poverty inhibiting the expression of genetic variation.

Abstract Scores on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children were
analyzed in a sample of 7-year-old twins from the National Collaborative
Perinatal Project. A substantial proportion of the twins were raised in
families living near or below the poverty level. Biometric analyses were
conducted using models allowing for components attributable to the additive
effects of genotype, shared environment, and nonshared environment to
interact with socioeconomic status (SES) measured as a continuous variable.
Results demonstrate that the proportions of IQ variance attributable to
genes and environment vary nonlinearly with SES. The models suggest that in
impoverished families, 60% of the variance in IQ is accounted for by the
shared environment, and the contribution of genes is close to zero; in
affluent families, the result is almost exactly the reverse. (PsycINFO
