Genetic and Environmental Contributions to the Covariation Between Cardiometabolic Traits

Genetic and Environmental Contributions to the Covariation Between Cardiometabolic Traits

BackgroundThe variation and covariation for many cardiometabolic traits have been decomposed into genetic and environmental fractions, by using twin or single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) models. However, differences in population, age, sex, and other factors hamper the comparison between twin‐ and...
