1 The Extended Liability-Threshold Model Klaus K. Holst Thomas Scheike, Jacob Hjelmborg Heritability Twin studies Include both monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs. DZ pairs on averages shares half of their genes MZ pairs are natural copies Difference in similarity of DZ and MZ twins may indicate genetic influence! Decomposition What is contribution of genetic and environmental factors to the variation in the outcome? The phenotype is the sum of genetic and environmental effects: Y = G + E Σ Y = Σ G + Σ E Polygenic model for continuous trait Polygenic model for continuous trait ACDE model Decompose outcome into Model Y i = A i + D i + C + E i, i = 1, A Additive genetic effects of alleles D Dominant genetic effects of alleles C Shared environmental effects E Unique environmental effects Assumptions No gene-environment interaction No gene-gene interaction (ACE) Same marginals of twin 1 and twin, and MZ and DZ. Equal environmental effects for MZ and DZ. Y i = A i + C i + D i + E i A i N (0, σ A), C i N (0, σ C ), D i N (0, σ D), E i N (0, σ E ) ( σ A Z A σa ) Z A σ A where Z A = σ A ( σ + C σc σc σ C Cov(Y 1, Y ) = ) ( σ + D Z D σd Z D σd σd { { 1, MZ 0.5 DZ and Z 1, MZ D = 0.5 DZ ) ( ) σ + E 0 0 σe

Model based on Probit link: P(Y 1 = 1, Y = 1 X ) = Φ(β T X 1 + A 1 + C 1, β T X + A + C ) Liability model/threshold model for binary data P(Y 1 = 1) = P(Y 1 > τ 1 ) where Φ is bivariate standard normal CDF, e.g. { 1, Yi > 0 Y i = 0, Yi 0 Y i = β T X i + A i + C i + E i, Var(E i ) = Y=0 Y=1 Y * τ
3 Liability model/threshold model for binary data Liability model in R P(Y 1 = 1, Y = 1) = P(Y 1 > τ 1, Y > τ ) The bivariate probit model, biprobit, and Liability model, bptwin, is available in R via the mets package > library(mets) > data(twinstut) > twinstut <- subset(twinstut,zyg!="os") Y Y 1 = 0, Y = 1 Y 1 = 1, Y = 1 τ Y 1 = 0, Y = 0 Y 1 = 1, Y = 0 > biprobit(stutter ~ sex+strata(zyg), data=twinstut, id="tvparnr") > bptwin(stutter ~ sex+strata(zyg), data=twinstut, id="tvparnr", zyg="zyg", DZ="dz") Statistical inference via compare (LRT, Wald test), confint, AIC,... τ 1 Y1 Heritability of prostate cancer Liability Model for censored data Considerable interest in quantifying the genetic influence of prostate cancer Lichtenstein et al (000). Environmental and heritable factors in the causation of cancer. NEJM 343(): Reported case-wise concordance rates (MZ; DZ) of 0.0; 0.09, and a heritability of 0.4 (0.9; 0.50).

Model for censoring mechanism G c (t; Z i ) = P(C i > t Z i ) Define IPCW Estimating Equation based on complete pairs only U w (θ) = n c i=1 OBS: positivity assumption! i1 i min{g c (T i1 ; Z i ), G c (T i ; Z i )} U i(θ) With correct model for the weights we obtain consistency E (U w (θ)) = E {E (U w (θ) Z, X )} = E (U i (θ)) = 0
