Science is rarely straightforward. Many times, scientists embark on a study looking for evidence for a particular hypothesis, ...

Although recent genome-wide studies have provided valuable insights into the genetic basis of human disease, they have explained relatively little of the heritability of most complex traits ...

1,2 “The vast majority of these kinds of complex diseases suffer from missing heritability; there's a predicted genetic predisposition which doesn't really match the observed heritability,” said ...

We studied ACL rupture in this cohort of 88 414 identical and fraternal twins, aged ≥17 years, to determine the familial risk and heritability of ACL rupture. Results The incidence rate of ACL rupture ...

“This is what’s known as ‘missing heritability,’” says Saud AlDubayan, who co-authored the collaboration’s study, published in The American Journal of Human Genetics. AlDubayan ...

The extent to which a characteristic – like height – can be explained by your genes, as opposed to the environment, is called heritability. For example, scientists have estimated that about 60 to 80 ...
