Inferring the nature of missing heritability in human traits

2018-07-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Thousands of genes responsible for many diseases and other common traits in humans have been detected by Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) in the last decade. However, candidate causal variants found so far usually explain only a small fraction of the heritability estimated by family data, the rest remaining ‘missing’. The most common explanation for this observation is that the missing her...
