Abstract
Albert Tenesa and colleagues report an analysis of the heritability of 12 complex diseases in 1,555,906 individuals from the UK Biobank. They find that SNP heritability explains a higher proportion of estimated heritability when shared familial environmental factors are taken into account.</p>
