both quantitative and case-control phenotypes, achieving goals (1) and (2). Furthermore, unlike previous methods that provide genome-wide estimates, we are able to estimate h2 for a particular genomic region, such as a chromosome, achieving goal (3). Our approach can be applied to all existing and future GWAS of admixed populations, without requiring additional expensive and time-consuming collections of large numbers of MZ and DZ twins.
