One hypothesis, favored by Dr. Christensen, was that the strongest genetic effect was on deaths early in life.
Before this, the strong genetic effect on weight was known, but the mechanism through which it operated was unclear.
Therefore if a disorder such as schizophrenia shows greater co-occurrence ("concordance") in MZ versus DZ twins this is evidence of a genetic effect.
This also presents the risk of having a detrimental genetic effect on future offspring.
The actual genetic effect is typically smaller than its estimate.
The additive genetic effect and the dominant genetic effect appeared significantly, and the former was more significant than the latter.
The phenotypic variation explained by QTLs and their genetic effect were estimated.
The smaller genetic effect on TTH than on migraine suggests that the two disorders are distinct.
The genetic effect on the drought tolerance is summarized in Fig. 3C.
GWAS research with replication samples is valuable to establish robust evidence of a main genetic effect.
Hd17 may have been used to modify heading date slightly in rice cultivars, because its genetic effect is small.
