Correlations between human mating partners: a comprehensive meta-analysis of 22 traits and raw data analysis of 133 traits in the UK Biobank

2022-03-20

Abstract excerpt

Positive correlations between human mating partners are consistently observed across traits. Such correlations can increase phenotypic variation and, to the extent that they reflect genetic similarity in co-parents, can also increase prevalence for rare phenotypes and bias estimates in genetic designs. We conducted the largest set of meta-analyses on human partner correlations to date, incorporating 480 partner co...
