A robust and unified framework for estimating heritability in twin studies using generalized estimating equations.

Statistics in medicine - 30 Nov 2020

Arbet Jaron, McGue Matt, Basu Saonli

Abstract excerpt

The 'heritability' of a phenotype measures the proportion of trait variance due to genetic factors in a population. In the past 50 years, studies with monozygotic and dizygotic twins have estimated heritability for 17,804 traits;1 thus twin studies are popular for estimating heritability. Researchers are often interested in estimating heritability for non-normally distributed outcomes such as binary, counts,...
