High heritability is compatible with the broad distribution of set point viral load in HIV carriers. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 Set point viral load in HIV patients ranges over several orders of magnitude and is a key determinant of disease progression in HIV. A number of recent studies have reported high heritability of set point viral load implying that viral genetic factors ...

SumVg: Total heritability explained by all variants in genome-wide association studies based on summary statistics with standard error estimates [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are commonly employed to study the genetic basis of complex traits and diseases, and a key question is how much heritability could be explained by all variants in GWAS. One widely used approach that relies on summary statistics only is LD score regression (LDSC), however the approach requires certain assumptions ...

Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2016 Growth traits, such as body weight, directly influence productivity and economic efficiency in the swine industry. In this study, we estimate heritability for body weight traits usinginformation from pedigree and genome-wide single nucleotide ...

Heritability estimates of body size in fetal life and early childhood. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The objective was to estimate the heritability for height and weight during fetal life and early childhood in two independent studies, one including parent and singleton offsprings and one of mono- and dizygotic twins.This study was embedded in the ...

Lobular Difference in Heritability of Brain Atrophy among Elderly Japanese: A Twin Study
Medicina, 2022 Background and Objectives: Brain atrophy is related to cognitive decline. However, the heritability of brain atrophy has not been fully investigated in the Eastern Asian population.

Heritability of the limbic networks [PDF]
Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 2015 Individual differences in cognitive ability and social behaviour are influenced by the variability in the structure and function of the limbic system. A strong heritability of the limbic cortex has been previously reported, but little is known about how genetic factors influence specific limbic networks. We used diffusion tensor imaging tractography to

Heritability in friendship networks [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 AbstractFriendship networks account for a large part of an individual’s economic success or failure in life. Using data from the German TwinLife study, we explore, within a classical twin design, to which extent friendship networks are related to genes.

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.

Direct Estimates of the Genomic Contributions to Blood Pressure Heritability within a Population-Based Cohort (ARIC). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Blood pressure (BP) is a heritable trait with multiple environmental and genetic contributions, with current heritability estimates from twin and family studies being ~ 40%.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) explain only a small fraction of heritability for most complex human phenotypes. Genomic heritability estimates the variance explained by the SNPs on the whole genome using mixed models and accounts for the many ...
