      Background Previous Mendelian randomization (MR) studies using population samples (population MR) have provided evidence for beneficial effects of educational attainment on health outcomes in adulthood. However, estimates ...
    • How to estimate heritability: a guide for genetic epidemiologists 

      Barry, Ciarra-Jane S; Walker, Venexia M.; Cheesman, Rosa Catherine Gillespie; Smith, George Davey; Morris, Tim T; Davies, Neil Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Background Traditionally, heritability has been estimated using family-based methods such as twin studies. Advancements in molecular genomics have facilitated the development of methods that use large samples of (unrelated ...
