Estimating heritability and genetic correlations from large health datasets in the absence of genetic data
Disease heritability and genetic correlations between traits depend on genetics, the environment and their interaction. Here, Jia et al. compute disease prevalence curves and disease embeddings from electronic health records and impute heritability for hundreds of diseases and genetic correlations f...
