Heritability of subclinical atherosclerosis in Latino families ascertained through a hypertensive parent.
Although clinical coronary heart disease and many cardiovascular risk factors are well known to aggregate within families, the heritability of carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) is less well documented. We report IMT heritability estimates in Mexican American, Salvadoran American, or Guatemalan American (all referred to as Latino) families ascertained through a hypertensive proband. IM...
متن کاملHeritability
What in your view is the distinguishing feature of developmental biology with respect to other natural sciences? It is the source of causality, the genome. Developmental biology differs from other sciences, physics, for example, most profoundly because of the organizing role of the primary informational content of the genome. The genomes of animals are the unique products of a billion years of ...
متن کاملThe mystery of missing heritability: Genetic interactions create phantom heritability.
Human genetics has been haunted by the mystery of "missing heritability" of common traits. Although studies have discovered >1,200 variants associated with common diseases and traits, these variants typically appear to explain only a minority of the heritability. The proportion of heritability explained by a set of variants is the ratio of (i) the heritability due to these variants (numerator),...
متن کاملThe Intelligence of Heritability
The influences of heredity and environment on behaviour are sometimes quantified as a heritability ratio, which assigns a percentage of variation in test scores to variation in the genotypes of individuals. There are compelling reasons, both biological and statistical, to doubt the validity of the common practice of partitioning variance in this manner. This paper outlines the conceptual founda...
متن کاملHeritability of Venous
Chronic venous disease (CVD) is one of the most common cardiovascular disorders in Northern and Western Europe; however, the causative factors predisposing individuals to the disease are still under investigation. Age, sex, obesity, and family history were found to be major risk factors for CVD. Altered venous biomechanics may also contribute to the pathogenesis of venous disease. Twin studies ...
