Abstract excerpt
Heritability is a fundamental concept in genetic studies, measuring the genetic contribution to complex traits and bringing insights about disease mechanisms. The advance of high-throughput technologies has provided many resources for heritability estimation. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) score regression (LDSC) estimates both heritability and confounding biases, such as cryptic relatedness and population...
