Heritability, defined as the percentage of trait variation due to genetic factors, can be estimated using family- or genotype-based methods.

In the largest genetic investigation of its kind, scientists have uncovered 57 regions of the genome associated with ...

The heritability of BMI was significantly higher in low-income groups, at 86% and 39%, respectively. Clearly, there is a strong interaction between environmental factors and genetic susceptibility.

Unique environmental factors explained the remaining 21%. This means ARFID’s genetic influence is similar to other eating disorders and neurodevelopmental disorders, researchers concluded.

Genome-wide analyses of ADHD identify 27 risk loci, refine the genetic architecture and implicate several cognitive domains. Nature Genetics, 55 (2), 198–208. Faraone S.V., Larsson, H. (2019).

Genetic variables play an important role in a person’s growth, development, and maturation. A person’s DNA affects various biological processes that can influence their personality.

We have characterized the broad genetic architecture of CODE disorders, highlighting the genes most commonly responsible and establishing the landscape of variants and heritability, including a ...

Genome-wide studies have identified multiple genetic risk regions, with common genetic variants accounting for up to 17% of the heritability of anorexia.
