Deskripsi
Disease heritability and genetic correlations between traits depend on genetics, the environment and their interaction. Here, Jia et al. compute disease prevalence curves and disease embeddings from electronic health records and impute heritability for hundreds of diseases and genetic correlations for thousands of disease pairs.
