Liability-scale heritability estimation for biobank studies of low-prevalence disease

Abstract excerpt

Theory for liability-scale models of the underlying genetic basis of complex disease provides an important way to interpret, compare, and understand results generated from biological studies. In particular, through estimation of the liability-scale heritability (LSH), liability models facilitate an understanding and comparison of the relative importance of genetic and environmental risk factors that shape...
