purpose: to compare anterior segment and ocular biometric parameters of unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attack of acute angle closure (aac), primary angle closure suspect (pacs) eyes, and normal eyes; and to assess the risk of developing aac in pacs. methods: in this prospective comparative observational case series, 16 unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attac...
BACKGROUND Twin and multiplex family studies have established significant heritability for schizophrenia (SZ), often summarized as 81%. The Consortium on the Genetics of Schizophrenia (COGS-1) family study was designed to deconstruct the genetic architecture of SZ using neurocognitive and neurophysiological endophenotypes, for which heritability estimates ranged from 18% to 50% (mean = 30%). Th...
PURPOSE To assess the heritability of central corneal thickness (CCT) in Chinese children in a classic twin study. METHODS Twins aged 8 to 16 years were recruited from the Guangzhou Twin Registry. Pachymetry data were obtained by one operator using the same imaging system. Zygosity was confirmed by genotyping with 16 polymorphic markers in all same-sex twin pairs. The CCT of the right eyes wa...
BACKGROUND Consumption of arsenic-contaminated drinking water adversely affects health. There is interindividual variation in arsenic metabolism efficiency, partially due to genetic variation in the arsenic methyltransferase (AS3MT) gene region. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to assess the overall contribution of genetic factors to variation in arsenic metabolism efficiency, as measure...
OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to elucidate the influence of common genetic variants on childhood attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, to identify genetic variants that explain its high heritability, and to investigate the genetic overlap of ADHD symptom scores with ADHD diagnosis. METHOD Within the EArly Genetics and Lifecourse Epidemiology (EAGLE) consortium, gen...
BACKGROUND Overweight/obesity is an important public health burden worldwide, increasing the risk for the development of cardiovascular diseases or the metabolic syndrome. This risk may be reduced by a good aerobic fitness (AF) that can be improved by physical activity but is also influenced by genetic factors. The aim of this study was to test for familial aggregation of AF measured by maximal...
For most complex traits, results from genome-wide association studies show that the proportion of the phenotypic variance attributable to the additive effects of individual SNPs, that is, the heritability explained by the SNPs, is substantially less than the estimate of heritability obtained by standard methods using correlations between relatives. This difference has been called the "missing h...
The heritability of blood pressure estimated in previous studies may be confounded by the influence of potential blood pressure risk factors. We applied the classical twin design to estimate the contribution of these covariates to blood pressure heritability. The study consisted of 173 dizygotic and 251 monozygotic twin pairs aged 18-34 years, randomly selected from the East Flanders Prospectiv...
The aim of this study was to estimate the heritability and describe the correlates of bone marrow lesions in knee subchondral bone. A sibpair design was used. T2- and T1-weighted MRI scans were performed on the right knee to assess bone marrow lesions at lateral tibia and femora and medial tibia and femora, as well as chondral defects. A radiograph was taken on the same knee and scored for indi...
The success of genomic selection mainly depends on the extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between markers and quantitative trait loci (QTL), number of QTL and heritability (h2) of the traits. The extent of LD depends on the genetic structure of the population and marker density. This study was conducted to determine the effects of marker density, level of heritability, number of QTL, and to ...
