Heritability estimates of the Big Five personality traits based on common genetic variants.

Translational psychiatry - 14 Jul 2015

Power R A, Pluess M

Abstract excerpt

According to twin studies, the Big Five personality traits have substantial heritable components explaining 40-60% of the variance, but identification of associated genetic variants has remained elusive. Consequently, knowledge regarding the molecular genetic architecture of personality and to what extent it is shared across the different personality traits is limited. Using genomic-relatedness-matrix residual...
