Table 3 GREML and GREML-LDMS heritability estimates for normalized MT-CN and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in METSIM. GREML-LDMS heritability estimates are calculated using PCs 1–10 as fixed-effect covariates. Analyses of imputed array data exclude samples with WGS data.

From: Mitochondrial genome copy number measured by DNA sequencing in human blood is strongly associated with metabolic traits via cell-type composition differences
