Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Twin and Extended Pedigree Designs for Obtaining Heritability Estimates.
Anna R. Docherty,William S. Kremen,William S. Kremen,Matthew S. Panizzon,Elizabeth Prom-Wormley,Carol E. Franz,Michael J. Lyons,Lindon J. Eaves,Michael C. Neale +8 more
TL;DR: Results indicated that CTDs have more power to estimate heritability, with the exception of one condition: in EPDs, the power increases relative to CTDs when shared environmental variance contributes to sibling similarity only.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Developmental Twin Study of Emotion Recognition and Its Negative Affective Clinical Correlates
Lance M. Rappaport,Dever M. Carney,Brad Verhulst,Michael C. Neale,James Blair,Melissa A. Brotman,Daniel S. Pine,Ellen Leibenluft,John M. Hettema,Roxann Roberson-Nay +9 more
TL;DR: Findings implicate common genetic factors in deficits regarding the recognition of happiness associated with irritability and neuroticism in childhood and adolescence.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multivariate twin study of hippocampal volume, self‐esteem and well‐being in middle‐aged men
Thomas S. Kubarych,Elizabeth Prom-Wormley,Carol E. Franz,Matthew S. Panizzon,Anders M. Dale,Bruce Fischl,Lisa T. Eyler,Christine Fennema-Notestine,Michael D. Grant,Richard L. Hauger,Dirk H. Hellhammer,Amy J. Jak,Terry L. Jernigan,Sonia J. Lupien,Michael J. Lyons,Sally P. Mendoza,Michael C. Neale,Larry J. Seidman,Ming T. Tsuang,William S. Kremen +19 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that largely different genetic and environmental factors underlie self‐esteem and well‐being on one hand and hippocampal volume on the other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Body Composition Methodology on Heritability Estimation of Body Fatness.
Sonya J. Elder,Susan B. Roberts,Megan A. McCrory,Sai Krupa Das,Paul J. Fuss,Anastassios G. Pittas,Andrew S. Greenberg,Steven B. Heymsfield,Bess Dawson-Hughes,Thomas J. Bouchard,Edward Saltzman,Michael C. Neale +11 more
TL;DR: The body fatness heritability estimate of 60% indicates a smaller contribution of genetic variance to total variance than many previous studies using less powerful research designs have indicated, and highlights the importance of environmental factors and possibly genotype by environmental interactions in the etiology of weight gain and the obesity epidemic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parallel workflows for data-driven structural equation modeling in functional neuroimaging.
Sarah Kenny,Michael Andric,Steven M. Boker,Michael C. Neale,Michael Wilde,Michael Wilde,Steven L. Small +6 more
TL;DR: A computational framework suitable for a data-driven approach to structural equation modeling (SEM) is presented and several workflows for modeling functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data within this framework are described.
