  1. Bivariate analysis HGEN619 class 2005

  2. Univariate ACE model

  3. Expected Covariance Matrices

  4. Bivariate Questions I • Univariate Analysis: What are the contributions of additive genetic, dominance/shared environmental and unique environmental factors to the variance? • Bivariate Analysis: What are the contributions of genetic and environmental factors to the covariance between two traits?

  5. Two Traits

  6. Bivariate Questions II • Two or more traits can be correlated because they share common genes or common environmental influences • e.g. Are the same genetic/environmental factors influencing the traits? • With twin data on multiple traits it is possible to partition the covariation into its genetic and environmental components • Goal: to understand what factors make sets of variables correlate or co-vary

  7. Bivariate Twin Data (cross-twin within-trait) covariance (within-twin within-trait co)variance (cross-twin within-trait) covariance cross-twin cross-trait covariance

  8. Bivariate Twin Covariance Matrix VX1 CX1X2 CX2X1 VX2 CX1Y1 CX2Y2 CX1Y2 CX2Y1 CY1X1 CY2X2 CY1X2 CY2X1 VY1 CY1Y2 CY2Y1 VY2

  9. Genetic Correlation

  10. Alternative Representations

  11. Cholesky Decomposition

  12. More Variables

  13. Bivariate AE Model

  14. MZ Twin Covariance Matrix a112+e112 a112 a21*a11+ e21*e11 a222+a212+ e222+e212 a21*a11 a222+a212

  15. DZ Twin Covariance Matrix a112+e112 .5a112 a21*a11+ e21*e11 a222+a212+ e222+e212 .5a21*a11 .5a222+ .5a212

  16. Within-Twin Covariances [Mx]

  17. Within-Twin Covariances

  18. Cross-Twin Covariances

  19. Cross-Trait Covariances • Within-twin cross-trait covariances imply common etiological influences • Cross-twin cross-trait covariances imply familial common etiological influences • MZ/DZ ratio of cross-twin cross-trait covariances reflects whether common etiological influences are genetic or environmental

  20. Univariate Expected Covariances

  21. Univariate Expected Covariances II

  22. Bivariate Expected Covariances

  23. Practical Example I • Dataset: MCV-CVT Study • 1983-1993 • BMI, skinfolds (bic,tri,calf,sil,ssc) • Longitudinal: 11 years • N MZF: 107, DZF: 60

  24. Practical Example II • Dataset: NL MRI Study • 1990’s • Working Memory, Gray & White Matter • N MZFY: 68, DZF: 21
