Heritability: What's the point? What is it not for? A human genetics perspective.

Genetica - 1 Aug 2022

Robette Nicolas, Génin Emmanuelle, Clerget-Darpoux Françoise

Abstract excerpt

In this paper, we explain the concept of heritability and describe the different methods and the genotype-phenotype correspondences used to estimate heritability in the specific field of human genetics. Heritability studies are conducted on extremely diverse human traits: quantitative traits (physical, biological, but also cognitive and behavioral measurements) and binary traits (as is the case of most human...
