Quantitative genetic analysis of longitudinal trends in height: preliminary results from the Louisville Twin Study.

Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae - 1 Jan 1990

Phillips K, Matheny A P

Abstract excerpt

A preliminary series of quantitative genetic models was applied to a subset of longitudinal height data, spanning birth to maturity, gathered from twin families in the Louisville Twin Study. Descriptive Cholesky factor parameterization was found to give more satisfactory results than did a system of constraints based on a model of developmental transmission of a time-constant and time-specific factors. The...
