Abstract

Relatives provide the basic material for the study of inheritance of human disease. However, the methodologies for the estimation of heritability and the interpretation of the results have been controversial. The debate arises from the plethora of methods used, the validity of the methodological assumptions and the inconsistent and sometimes erroneous genetic interpretations made. We will discuss how to estimate disease heritability, how to interpret it, how biases in heritability estimates arise and how heritability relates to other measures of familial disease aggregation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
