Half of the variation in susceptibility to mortality is genetic: findings from Swedish twin survival data.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jan 1999

Yashin A I, Iachine I A, Harris J R

Abstract excerpt

Molecular epidemiological studies confirm tremendous variability in genetic and environmental susceptibility to disease and death for humans. This variability as well as the roles of genetic and environmental factors in susceptibility to death can be estimated in the analysis of survival data on related individuals (e.g., twins). In this paper, correlated gamma-frailty models are applied to survival data on...
