Twin studies to GWAS: there and back again.

Trends in cognitive sciences - 1 Oct 2021

Friedman Naomi P, Banich Marie T, Keller Matthew C

Abstract excerpt

The field of human behavioral genetics has come full circle. It began by using twin/family studies to estimate the relative importance of genetic and environmental influences. As large-scale genotyping became cost-effective, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) yielded insights about the nature of genetic influences and new methods that use GWAS data to estimate heritability and genetic correlations...
