title: Effects of household sharing on high density lipoprotein and its subfractions.
abstract: Household effects accounted for significant proportions of the observed variance of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and subfractions HDL2 and HDL3. It was found that 19.3% of HDL-C variance could be attributed to a juvenile sib effect (under age 18); 17.4% of HDL2 variance could be attributed to a sib effect (of any age); and 22.1% and 32.6% of the HDL3 variance could be attributed to a parent-offspring effect and a sib effect (of any age), respectively. In addition, additive genetic effects accounted for 56.5%, 37.3%, and 28.3% of the variances of HDL-C, HDL2, and HDL3, respectively. These are maximum likelihood estimates obtained using a variance components model on 2,149 HDL-C levels measured on members of 54 Utah pedigrees, and 337 HDL2 and HDL3 levels measured on a subset of 14 pedigrees.
