Age-related late-onset disease heritability patterns and implications for genome-wide association studies

2018-06-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Genome-wide association studies and other computational biology techniques are gradually discovering the causal gene variants that contribute to late-onset human diseases. After more than a decade of genome-wide association study efforts, these can account for only a fraction of the heritability implied by familial studies, the so-called “missing heritability” problem. <h4>Methods</h4> Comput...
