Causal Effects in Twin Studies: the Role of Interference
Bonnie Smith, Elizabeth L. Ogburn, Matt McGue +2
The use of twins designs to address causal questions is becoming increasingly popular. A standard assumption is that there is no interference between twins---that is, no twin's exp…
Simultaneous Selection of Multiple Important Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Familial Genome Wide Association Studies Data
Subhabrata Majumdar, Saonli Basu, Matt McGue +1
We propose a resampling-based fast variable selection technique for detecting relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in a multi-marker mixed effect model. Due to computatio…
A Robust and Unified Framework for Estimating Heritability in Twin Studies using Generalized Estimating Equations
Jaron Arbet, Matt McGue, Saonli Basu
The development of a complex disease is an intricate interplay of genetic and environmental factors. "Heritability" is defined as the proportion of total trait variance due to gene…
The effect of paternal age on offspring intelligence and personality when controlling for paternal trait level
Ruben C. Arslan, Lars Penke, Wendy Johnson +2
Paternal age at conception has been found to predict the number of new genetic mutations. We examined the effect of father's age at birth on offspring intelligence, head circumfere…
