Heritability of Plasmodium parasite density in a rural Ugandan community. [PDF]
, 2010 Many factors influence variation in Plasmodium infection levels, including parasite/host genetics, immunity, and exposure. Here, we examine the roles of host genetics and exposure in determining parasite density, and test whether effects differ with age.

Aquaculture Reports, 2021 The occurrence of inbreeding over generations cannot be avoided in breeding practice because of limited effective population sizes, and inbreeding is expected to decrease the heritability within populations.

Nature, 1997 IQ heritability, the portion of a population's IQ variability attributable to the effects of genes, has been investigated for nearly a century, yet it remains controversial. Covariance between relatives may be due not only to genes, but also to shared environments, and most previous models have assumed different degrees of similarity induced by ...

Epidemiology and heritability of Major Depressive Disorder, stratified by age of onset, sex, and illness course in Generation Scotland:Scottish Family Health Study (GS:SFHS) [PDF]
, 2015 The heritability of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) has been estimated at 37% based largely on twin studies that rely on contested assumptions. More recently, the heritability of MDD has been estimated on large populations from registries such as the ...

Heritability of Lung Function: A Twin Study Among Never-Smoking Elderly Women [PDF]
, 2011 Most studies on lung function heritability have been conducted in smokers and non-smokers using cross-sectional study design. Smoking patterns may, however, confound the contribution of genetic factors.

Phenome-wide heritability analysis of the UK Biobank.
PLoS Genetics, 2017 Heritability estimation provides important information about the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to phenotypic variation, and provides an upper bound for the utility of genetic risk prediction models.

Spatially Dense 3D Facial Heritability and Modules of Co-heritability in a Father-Offspring Design
Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 Introduction: The human face is a complex trait displaying a strong genetic component as illustrated by various studies on facial heritability. Most of these start from sparse descriptions of facial shape using a limited set of landmarks.

Estimating the heritability of psychological measures in the Human Connectome Project dataset.
PLoS ONE, 2020 The Human Connectome Project (HCP) is a large structural and functional MRI dataset with a rich array of behavioral and genotypic measures, as well as a biologically verified family structure. This makes it a valuable resource for investigating questions

Common DNA markers can account for more than half of the genetic influence on cognitive abilities [PDF]
, 2013 For nearly a century, twin and adoption studies have yielded substantial estimates of heritability for cognitive abilities, although it has proved difficult for genomewide-association studies to identify the genetic variants that account for this ...
