Quantile-specific heritability of serum growth factor concentrations.
Growth factors (Chur, Switzerland) - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: "Quantile-dependent expressivity" occurs when the effect size of a genetic variant depends upon whether the phenotype (e.g. growth factor concentration) is high or low relative to its distribution. METHODS: Quantile-regression analysis was applied to family sets from the Framingham Heart Study to determine whether the heritability (h2) of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hepatocyte growth...
