Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Family studies are well suited to investigate the genetic architecture underlying the metabolic syndrome (MetS). The purposes of this paper were (i) to estimate heritabilities for each of the MetS indicators, and (ii) to test the significance of familial intratrait and cross-trait correlations in MetS markers. METHODS AND RESULTS: This study included 1,363 individuals from 515 Portuguese...
