Abstract excerpt
Heritability estimates of MetS range from approximately 10%-30%. The genetic variation that is shared among MetS features can be calculated by genetic correlation coefficients. The objective of this paper is to identify MetS feature as well as MetS related features which have much genetic variation in common, by reviewing the literature regarding genetic correlation coefficients. Identification of features, that...
