Heritability and genetic associations of triglyceride and HDL-C levels using pedigree-based and empirical kinships
Abstract The heritability of a phenotype is an estimation of the percent of variance in that phenotype that is attributable to additive genetic factors. Heritability is optimally estimated in family-based sample populations. Traditionally, this involves use of a pedigree-based kinship coefficient ge...
