Biometrical Models in Behavioral Genetics

TL;DR: The research designs and statistical methods that are in popular use in behavioral genetics (BG) are described, to provide a general and extensible infrastructure for the modeling of genetically informative data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimating fetal and maternal genetic contributions to premature birth from multiparous pregnancy histories of twins using MCMC and maximum-likelihood approaches.

TL;DR: Although the contribution of maternal and fetal genetic factors was supported using both outcomes, additional births and/or extended relationships are required to precisely estimate both genetic effects simultaneously.
Journal Article

Aphidicolin-inducible common fragile-site expression: results from a population survey of twins.

TL;DR: Data from a population survey of 28 twin pairs yielded a heritability estimate of .88 for total site expression, suggesting that common chromosomal fragile sites may result from some common process that is under relatively stringent genetic control.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Dynamic Associations Between Cortical Thickness and General Intelligence are Genetically Mediated.

TL;DR: This study examines the genetic contributions to CT-intelligence relationships using a genetically informative longitudinal sample of 813 typically developing youth, imaged with high-resolution MRI and assessed with Wechsler Intelligence Scales (IQ).
Journal ArticleDOI

ApoE polymorphism accounts for only part of the genetic variation in quantitative ApoE levels

TL;DR: Examination of the covariance between twins classified according to allele sharing indicates that the association is not due to population stratification, but to a genuine effect of the ApoE locus on levels, which accounts for only one‐fourth of the genetic variation inApoE levels.
