Concordance Rate
|
Detailed explanation-1: -In genetics, concordance is the probability that a pair of individuals will both have a certain characteristic (phenotypic trait) given that one of the pair has the characteristic. Concordance can be measured with concordance rates, reflecting the odds of one person having the trait if the other does.
Detailed explanation-2: -Calculate the concordance rate for identical twins by dividing the number of concordant identical twin pairs (62) by the total number of concordant (62) and discordant (38) pairs. Then, multiply by 100.
Detailed explanation-3: -Heritability has historically been estimated from studies of twins. Identical twins have almost no differences in their DNA, while fraternal twins share, on average, 50 percent of their DNA.
Detailed explanation-4: -Concordance rates means the. probability of one twin having the disorder if the other already has it expressed as a percentage. In a twin study, MZ (identical) and DZ (non-identical) twins are compared.
