For human complex traits, non-additive genetic variation has been invoked to explain" missing heritability," but its discovery is often neglected in genome-wide association studies …
Despite strong transethnic genetic correlations reported in the literature for many complex traits, the non-transferability of polygenic risk scores across populations suggests the …
Understanding genetic variation of complex traits in human populations has moved from the quantification of the resemblance between close relatives to the dissection of genetic …
To the Editor: Recently, Lee et al. 1 presented a method to estimate the proportion of phenotypic variation explained by common SNPs for case-control phenotypes. This extends …
Variance-component methods that estimate the aggregate contribution of large sets of variants to the heritability of complex traits have yielded important insights into the genetic …
We develop a Bayesian mixed linear model that simultaneously estimates single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based heritability, polygenicity (proportion of SNPs with nonzero …
Complex traits and common diseases are extremely polygenic, their heritability spread across thousands of loci. One possible explanation is that thousands of genes and loci have …
Abstract Narrow-sense heritability (h 2) is an important genetic parameter that quantifies the proportion of phenotypic variance in a trait attributable to the additive genetic variation …
We have recently developed analysis methods (GREML) to estimate the genetic variance of a complex trait/disease and the genetic correlation between two complex traits/diseases …
