Visualizing genetic similarity at the symptom level: The example of learning disabilities
Year: 2010
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Psychological traits and disorders are often interrelated through shared genetic influences. A combination of maximum-likelihood structural equation modelling and multidimensional scaling enables us to open a window onto the genetic architecture at the symptom level, rather than at the level of latent genetic factors. We illustrate this approach using a study of cognitive abilities involving over 5,000 pairs of twins.
