Genetic Dominance Influences Blood Biomarker Levels in a Sample of 12,000 Swedish Elderly Twins
20 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
In twin studies of cardiovascular disease biomarkers the dizygotic correlations are often estimated to be less than half of monozygotic correlations indicating a potential influence of nonadditive genetic factors. Using a large and homogenous sample, we estimated the additive and dominance genetic influences on levels of high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein B,...
