Heritability estimates for psychotic disorders: the Maudsley twin psychosis series.
BACKGROUND Previous twin studies have supported a genetic contribution to the major categories of psychotic disorders, but few of these have employed operational diagnostic criteria, and no such study has been based on a sample that included the full range of functional psychotic disorders. METHODS A total of 224 twin probands (106 monozygotic, 118 dizygotic) with a same-sex co-twin and a lif...
متن کاملHeritability estimates for psychotic symptom dimensions in twins with psychotic disorders.
Factor analysis of psychotic symptoms frequently results in positive, negative, and disorganized dimensions, but heritability estimates have not yet been reported. Symptom dimensions are usually only measured in individuals with psychotic disorders. Here, it is valuable to assess influences acting via liability to psychosis and independent modifying effects. We estimated heritability for psycho...
متن کاملNatural Medicines for Psychotic Disorders
Patients with psychotic disorders regularly use natural medicines, although it is unclear whether these are effective and safe. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of evidence for improved outcomes by natural medicines. A systematic literature search was performed through Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Cochrane until May 2015. In 110 randomized controlled trials, evidence was found...
متن کاملHeritability Estimates for Conformation Traits in Pigs
Data from 1006 pigs selected for breeding and subsequently scored at 22-24 weeks of age were used to estimate heritabilities for conformation traits. Front wrists, front pasterns, back hocks, back pasterns, front view, rear view and back shape were each subjectively scored by a single operator. For the individual traits heritability estimates ranged from high (0.42±0.09 for front pasterns) to n...
متن کاملGeometric estimates of heritability in biological shape.
The recently developed geometric morphometrics methods represent an important contribution of statistics and geometry to the study of biological shapes. We propose simple protocols using shape distances that incorporate geometric techniques into linear quantitative genetic models that should provide insights into the contribution of genetics to shape variation in organisms. The geometric approa...
