Heritability of left ventricular mass in Japanese families living in Hawaii: the SAPPHIRe Study.
J Hypertens. 2007; (5): 985-92
Established determinants of left ventricular (LV) mass explain only a modest fraction of its variability. Family studies to date suggest that a proportion of the unexplained variability can be accounted for by additive polygenic effects. An estimate of this proportion has not been reported previously in an East Asian population. The objective of this study was to estimate the heritability of LV mass in Japanese families living in Hawaii.
