Estimating Intergenerational and Assortative Processes in Extended Family Data

M. Dolores Collado et al.

Summary: This study quantifies intergenerational and assortative processes by comparing different degrees of kinship within the same generation. The findings show that assortative matching must be much stronger than previously thought, and genetic influences explain little of the variance in educational attainment. Sorting primarily occurs in non-genetic factors.

Within-sibship genome-wide association analyses decrease bias in estimates of direct genetic effects

Laurence J. Howe et al.

Summary: Estimates from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) can be influenced by inherited variation, population stratification, and indirect genetic effects. This study combines data from 178,086 siblings to generate population and within-family GWAS estimates for 25 phenotypes. The within-family estimates are smaller than population estimates for certain phenotypes and show differences in genetic correlations and Mendelian randomization analyses.
