The 'missing heritability' of common disorders: should health researchers care?

International journal of health services : planning, administration, evaluation - 1 Jan 2013

Chaufan Claudia, Joseph Jay

Abstract excerpt

This article critiques the "missing heritability" position, which calls for greater efforts and funding to identify the genetic architecture of common disorders, even if this endeavor has yet to translate into tangible prevention, diagnosis, or treatment interventions. Supporters of the position contend that genetic variants "for" common disorders, which they argue must exist based on heritability estimates...
